Best: The lede paragraph with the least inflammatory language (uses the verb “ask”), but with the most detailed information is Fox News.
Second is CBS also using the word ask, but doesn’t note the working relationship which apparently is a phrase in the letter.
The most biased is probably HuffPo which uses the odd and wordy, “has engineered an inquiry into” instead of “ask.”
Why he is “Chuck” to conservatives and “Charles” to liberals, probably means something, but what I don’t know. Not mentioning his name in the lede at all probably also means something. “Ranking” and “top” can go either way.
I didn’t check the entire internet, but in the first 50 listings I didn’t see New York Times, Washington Post, or LA Times, all members of the tight non-vetting, Obamedia, even though New York Times in an earlier article noted that the agreed on price for the call girl was $800.

Mark Steyn now calls this scandal, "Grope and Change." The change here I believe refers to paying the "escort" $28 instead of $800.
The UK Mail is the only one that actually uses Barack Obama's name. Is that for their readers or because they want to draw attention to him rather than the people who work for him.
