Reported unevenly

  • Characterization of the July figure as a 'record' or recent peak: The Guardian states 49,571 was the highest since October 2022, making it a 10-month peak but not an all-time record. Headlines from five outlets frame it as the 'highest' of Trump's second term without temporal qualifier beyond that administration period.stated by theguardian.com (explicitly states 'highest since October 2022') · absent from ctvnews.ca, farsnews.ir, thehill.com, timesofindia.indiatimes.com, yahoo.com
