A few, like *Profit*, added context that the monthly deficit gap narrowed in August compared to July, though both months remained higher than the same period in the previous year. The framing was largely consistent, with most headlines using terms like “soars,” “widens,” or “rises,” while *Dawn* used the word “alarmingly” to describe the increase.
