Headline check
All two things this headline claims are in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked
This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 587-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it
No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.
