tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

The White House posted a new Jan. 6 account for the attack’s fifth anniversary, blaming Democrats and Nancy Pelosi and addressing Donald Trump’s account of the events.

Left-leaning outlets rebut the White House’s blame of Democrats and challenge Trump’s claims about Pelosi and the 2020 election. Center outlets report the webpage’s claims in neutral terms, including its presentation of Trump’s pardons as correcting an injustice, without quoting an opposing source. Right-leaning outlets generally present the website as a correction to Democrats’ account, while Breitbart explicitly endorses its defense of Trump.
