Article count is not confirmation count. Wire rewrites and same-outlet follow-ups inflate totals. Prefer distinct publishers and primary links on each story page.

Vocabulary fingerprints · not a political endorsement
All three outlets report that France attributes a cyberattack to Iran. The New York Times focuses on refrigeration systems, Gizmodo highlights the sabotage of 700 grocery stores, and The Conversation notes mass-hacks affecting freezers and blood banks. The primary difference lies in the specific terminology used to describe the impact, with Gizmodo using the more charged term 'sabotaged'.
