Donald Trump announces US military's exit from Iraq after expensive 12-year ‘excursion to hell’
From the report
How outlets headlined it
Each outlet's own headline. Struck through: the loaded words our version leaves out. Plainest first.
- 7NEWS Donald Trump announces US military's exit from Iraq after expensive 12-year ‘excursion to hell’ plain
- The West Australian Trump hails US military's exit from Iraq after 12 years plain
Headline check
One of the four things this headline claims is not in the report.
- The headline puts “‘excursion to hell’” in quotation marks. Nobody says those words anywhere 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 655-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.
Also covered by The West Australian. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
