How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this Miami crane collapse was largely uniform across all three outlets, with a bias spread of just 0.0 points separating the most left-leaning from the most right-leaning headline. All outlets reported the story as a straightforward accident, relying on neutral, factual language without ideological framing. The primary differences were minor editorial choices in wording rather than any political slant: the *New York Post* described the location as a "swanky Miami neighborhood," adding a touch of color absent from the others, while the *Miami Herald* cited official sourcing with "Miami police say" and used the technical term "construction rig." The *Independent* provided the most specific detail, noting the crane "collapsed on moving car" and caused "a fire." These distinctions reflect routine editorial variation in specificity and style, not divergent political framing.
