The Global News digest described the bakery as a “self-serve” location, while the Toronto Star digest included the detail that the graffiti was only faintly visible. ### Centre - The centre-rated digest from Castanet also reported that this was the second incident at the bakery in less than three months. It described the graffiti as a “faint outline” of the words “Action anti tech” and specified that the vandalism occurred overnight on Wednesday. ### Right No separate framing summary. ## Verification scope This page compares coverage and scores the source reporting.
