One story, two judges: this cluster is actually two different stories

The Blaze's story is about U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan blocking a $20 million Trump administration ad campaign after a DNC lawsuit. Reuters and France 24 are reporting the death of Judge Alvin Hellerstein, 92, who oversaw 9/11 litigation and the Maduro prosecution. These are unrelated stories that share only the words 'federal judge' and 'Trump.' There is no framing analysis to run here because there is no shared event.

What happened

U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ruled Wednesday against a Trump administration ad campaign estimated at $20 million, siding with the Democratic National Committee in a lawsuit challenging the use of taxpayer funds. Separately, Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a senior U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York who presided over September 11 wrongful death litigation and more recently the federal prosecution of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, died at age 92. Reuters and France 24 covered Hellerstein's death. The Blaze covered the AliKhan ruling. Three outlets, two stories, no overlap. There is no cross-spectrum coverage of either event in this set.
