How we processed this story

  • ✓ Neutralized — Loaded language, emotional intensifiers, and editorial framing were stripped from the original coverage. Direct quotes are preserved verbatim. The change log is available on request.
  • ● Coverage — Three dots show whether left, center, and right outlets in our pool covered this story. Filled means yes, hollow means no. One-sided coverage is shown honestly — we don't hide it, and we don't penalize it.
  • ⚠ Wire — Flagged when "multiple" outlets are reprinting the same wire-service copy. Several reprints of one AP story are not three independent perspectives.

We don't rate truth. We strip the spin and show you which perspectives covered the story. You decide.
