How each side tells it
Compare views
Both sides cover Pope Leo XIV's Monday Mass in Buenos Aires. Center outlets stress the crowd, estimated at about 2 million, and the Pope's recent cancer surgery; the left-rated ABC piece, written before the Mass, gives only the expected turnout.

1 outlet
The left-rated ABC News piece uses a video label and a pre-event expectation of more than a million people, so its headline does not report the Mass itself.
