Fox News, the New York Post, the Washington Examiner, RedState and The Western Journal report that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed over their views on Israel. According to Fox News, Pelosi called the views wrong and said they do not reflect House Democrats. The Washington Examiner and The New York Times say El-Sayed has declined to say Israel should exist as a Jewish state. The Western Journal says Pelosi called his stance more than concerning. RedState says the Michigan race could help decide control of the Senate.

The coverage spectrum counts the outlets covering a story at each of five points. A short or missing segment means that part of the spectrum is mostly quiet.

Governor Loaded verb“slams”It adds drama to what was said. The governor criticized the lawmakers; “slams” makes it sound like a fight.More neutral: criticizes lawmakers over budget delay

Highlights mark words that carry a judgement. Tap one to see why, and what a neutral writer would say. Here it is “criticizes”.
