MAIN REPORTED CLAIM
WHAT CHANGED
The headlines are mostly aligned. The differences are small wording choices, not a major framing split.
Low scores are useful too: they show when coverage is broadly aligned instead of forcing a bias angle where there may not be one.
This would be no ordinary by-election.
How this could be misread: Low Wording Gap does not mean the story is unimportant. It means the headlines mostly agree on the first impression.
