CRAYON summary

Former President Joe Biden and members of his family were targeted by protesters on Tuesday night as they left an event at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, where his son Hunter Biden was receiving an award. NBC News reports that at least two people were arrested after throwing objects at the family as they entered their cars, while The Washington Times describes the demonstrators as anti-Israel activists.

How the coverage differs

NBC News gives the most detail, naming Trinity College as the location, noting that Hunter Biden was receiving an award there, and reporting that at least two people were arrested after throwing objects at Biden and his family as they got into their cars. CBS News describes protesters "targeting" Biden and his family as they left a Dublin event on Tuesday night but does not mention the venue, the award, arrests or thrown objects. The Washington Times is the only outlet to identify the protesters' cause, calling them "anti-Israel" demonstrators and using the word "harassed," while also noting Hunter Biden's award but not mentioning arrests. Neither NBC News nor CBS News states what the protesters were demonstrating about.
