Where coverage agrees

Outlets across the spectrum agree that actor RJ Mitte has died at the age of 34 and that he was best known for his role in Breaking Bad.

Right-leaning outlets such as The Daily Caller and The Daily Wire explicitly mentioned in their headlines and excerpts that the death was an apparent suicide, whereas center outlets like BBC News and NewsNation focused on his age and his role in the series. One America News Network from the Right also highlighted his work as a disability rights advocate. The Left-leaning outlet HuffPost covered an entirely unrelated political television segment.
