How each side framed it

Left-leaning outlets · 2

Left-leaning outlets emphasized allegations that Hegseth had violated the constitution and noted he had called the effort a stunt.

Center-leaning outlets · 3

Center-leaning outlets focused on the political context, including Trump's reaction, the timing after midterm losses, and the likelihood Democrats could revisit the issue after taking over Congress in January.

Right-leaning outlets · 2

Right-leaning outlets focused on procedural details, noting Massie's resolution was privileged and had to be considered by the full House.

Still disputed

Center-leaning outlets reported the impeachment effort was tied to military actions in Iran and Latin America, which other sides did not mention.
Left-leaning outlets reported Hegseth was accused of an array of illegal acts, a characterization not found in center or right coverage.
