Eric Trump, a son of the president-elect and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, posted about the fire on the social media platform X. He praised the fire department and local law enforcement “for their swift response and professionalism.”
Not much of a narrative in this article because there is not much information to be had.

Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas," he wrote. "The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism."

First article that I've come across that mentions this.
Fort Bragg, a massive Army base in North Carolina that is home to Army special forces command, according to the Associated Press.Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar who plowed into a crowd in New Orleans early on New Year’s Day and killed at least 15 people before being shot to death by police, also served time at Fort Bragg.
Connection between this incident and the New Orleans incident narrative continues. Have yet to say that there is no correlation.

Leaving One Dead
Another instance that blames the Tesla for exploding and killing someone right away. The article should say later that it was not actually the truck that did it, and that the man committed suicide, but this headline does not make that clear at all.
The all-wheel Cybertruck ranges in price from about $80,000 to $100,000.
Saying the Cybertruck is great narrative. Giving free advertising for the prices as well.
In the past year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become a major donor and close adviser to Trump, with the billionaire tasked to head up Trump's Department
Contributes to the terrorist attack narrative, highlighting the fact that this was a Tesla in front of a Trump hotel, where the two work together, and the article shows that.

Still leaves room for the possibility that there is a link. Other sources close this completely.

Continues the narrative of the troubled soldier and mental illness is the highlight.
The cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the coroner's office said.
Comes later, why did they elude to the fact that the explosion killed him in the first sentence?

Saying that the person died from the explosion, other sources say that this person died from suicide.
“The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle,” Musk added, noting that the Cybertruck directed the blast upwards and helped contain the explosion. “Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”

Narrative of praising the Cybertruck, that it is something that can protect yourself and others around you.
There is one person dead inside the Cybertruck, where the body remains as authorities
Reason why the person is not highlighted as being an army man, is because they have yet to determine who this person was. This could mean that the earlier the article was released, the more likely that they believe this was a terrorist attack based on the location and use of the Tesla.
A vehicle fire was reported at the hotel just after 8:40 a.m, and crews arrived to find a 2024 Cybertruck engulfed in flames, Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a news conference
Something all of the articles can agree upon.
was a terrorist act,
Something that comes up quicker than other articles that I've read.
Authorities believe fireworks, gas tanks and camping fuel were connected to a detonation system controlled by the driver in the Tesla Cybertruck
Talking about the truck itself exploding, no mention of who the driver actually was. This is different from the previous articles that I've read, where the fact that he was an Army man was the first thing mentioned. This is shifting the blame to more of the truck.
The Las Vegas incident is not believed to have any direct connection
In this article, the authors talk about how this doesn't have a connection upon bringing up the New Orleans incident, where other articles have let the reader read about the incident first, possibly eluding to the fact that it's up to the reader's interpretation on whether or not the two are connected.

Highlighting that this is something that happened legally, which could have been assumed, even if they didn't say legally.
Suspect
This talks about the event having a suspect, meaning that there was a crime involved.
Seven people nearby suffered minor injuries when the Tesla truck exploded
This took until some of the last things that are highlighted in the article, where for others, it is the first. This article makes it seem like the others are insignificant to the story.
‘no definitive link’
This seems to be debunked as quickly as this narrative arose, that they could have something to do with each other, much different than what other articles have said.

Struggling with mental health narrative.
Livelsberger served in the Green Berets, highly trained special forces who work to counter terrorism abroad and train partners. He had served in the Army since 2006, rising through the ranks with a long career of overseas assignments, deploying twice to Afghanistan and serving in Ukraine, Tajikistan, Georgia and Congo, the Army said. He was awarded a total of five Bronze Stars, including one with a valor device for courage under fire, a combat infantry badge and an Army Commendation Medal with valor. Livelsberger was on approved leave when he died, according to the statement.
Showing that this man was a good person, the article in no way talks about how this may have been a criminal act, much different than other articles.
Authorities said both guns were purchased legally.

sophistication
This word makes it seem that the explosion was impressive
Highly Decorated US Soldier
Already shows the significance of who he was, contributing to the narrative of a victim of PTSD. The headline seems to elude to the fact that the soldier was the victim in the scenario, to suicide, nothing of the people that were injured from explosion is mentioned in the headline.
"So there's obviously things to be concerned about and it's something we continue to look at." The truck explosion came hours after a driver rammed a truck into a crowd in New Orleans' famed French Quarter early on
Speculation, crafting the narrative.
Musk has recently become a member of Trump's inner circle. Neither Trump nor Musk were in Las Vegas early Wednesday. Both had attended Trump's New Year's Eve party at Trump's estate in South Florida. Musk spent an estimated $250 million during the presidential campaign to support the former president. He was at Trump's resort on election night and has been a frequent guest there.
Crafting the narrative as to how this may be related to a terrorisim attack and how the Tesla connects to the Trump hotel.
then driving about an hour later into the valet area of the Trump International Hotel, where it sat 15 to 20 seconds before the explosion occurred.
What's interesting is that the reader gets the facts about what actually happened after we hear what the FBI said about the investigation.
"Following that, our second objective is to determine whether this was an act of terrorism or not."
This is something that is speculation from people involved in the case, and can invoke emotion in the readers, like fear.
National
Right away, I was thinking about the news values, and why this might be something that is worth learning about The fact that this says that this is national news, lets me know that this is something that is involving people that are relevant to the United States, and is something that is out of the ordinary.

blowout
The second time that the author has used this word. Many people likely consider blowout meaning different things. In my opinion, I don't think that the Packers won in a blowout, since they only won by ten points. However, other people have a different concept of this word in terms of a football game.

Opinion included from Kraft that one, believes that Rodgers left a legacy, but also that Jordan is fulfilling that legacy.
"He played great, played fantastic,"
Every quote and opinion that is showed in this article is from the side that believes that Love is a great player. Everyone that is attributed thinks that Love did all the right things, but there are definitely people and players out there that think the opposite, but this is not shown in this article.
Jordan Love didn't need Sunday night's thumping
First sentence is an informed opinion or speculation because Love didn't come out and say these things, but there was evidence of this from last night's game.
My colleagues have been reporting on one of the most dramatic heists this century
Opinion- not necessarily the author's opinion, but their colleagues, who are people who are working for the New York Times, who extremely likely to be people who are not experts in art museum robberies.
Today, we look at how thieves pulled off this weekend’s brazen daylight robbery in Paris and why they did it.
This news is not something that is near to us or NYC at all, but is something that has been all over my news feed and social media feeds. Why this was in the news is likely largely due to the unusualness of the matter, that one of the most famous art museums in the art capital of the world was broken into, and is a place that is known to have lots of security in general. That leads to the next point of the prominence of the story, and how whether you are interested in art or not, almost everyone in America has heard of The Louvre, or at least some of the art that is in the museum, like the Mona Lisa.
This article may have come from a public relations statement about the robbery in general, but not necessarily as a way to promote the museum in general, since hearing about a robbery may make people feel that they are unsafe while being at the museum, and that there isn't enough security.
It happens more often than you may think!
This wording sounds similar to an opinion rather than fact, where they are assuming what the reader is thinking.
The thieves weren’t after oil masterworks
This is interesting to say because how does this author know this? The thieves didn't say that they were specifically not looking for oil art pieces, but just that they went after the jewels first.
