Friday's 2,977 Names Are Not a New List

TL;DR

The White House posted 2,977 names on Friday; Saturday has no second roll.

MSM Perspective

Friday's X post named 2,977 lives. Saturday does not re-read them as news.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a recap as a new memorial.

The White House posted 2,977 names on Friday. [1] This paper printed the list as Friday's. Saturday has no second roll. A recap is not a new memorial. Print 2,977 as Friday's. Do not print a new name count.

No Saturday addendum is in the White House stack, so 2,977 remains Friday's number and not a rewritten death toll.
Saturday recap that treats the roll as a new finding is a feed, not Friday's post.
No second name list is in Saturday's Washington copy.
This edition will not invent a 2,978th name to fill a quiet Saturday.
Friday already named the 2,977.

Saturday is not a second memorial roll.
Print 2,977 as Friday's number.
The roll remains Friday's named list.
