Analysis
Center-leaning sources present this item neutrally: they use light, colloquial descriptors ("knocked his hair off") for color but rely on factual reporting and direct source content. Editorial choices are minimal; the coverage foregrounds Miller’s own explanation about shampoo and provides brief background (failed drug test) without judgment.
