• ▸Source selection — Key statements are attributed, but the article does not include a response from the board.
• ▸Author attribution — The article names its author.
• ▸Editorial standards — The publisher has an identifiable newsroom, though the text alone offers limited evidence about its standards.

The article reports the announcement and provides background about Trump’s role, but the central allegations and legal objections come from critics. It does not include the board’s account of the vote or a response to the claim that Beatty was muted.

• ▸Counterarguments presented — No response from the board to Beatty’s account or to the challenge to its authority is included.
• ▸Source diversity — The article quotes Beatty and Jeffries, while the administration’s position appears only through Leavitt’s announcement and earlier Trump remarks.
• ▸Loaded language — Some critical descriptions appear in the article’s background narration, though the strongest condemnations are attributed to speakers.
