How loaded the writing isLanguage Load Language Load is one number from 0 to 100 for how loaded a report’s writing is. Lower is plainer. 0 is a plain report, the facts said plainly; 100 is loaded throughout. It reads the writing, not the events, so a plain report of a sad story can still score low. Most reports are written fairly plainly and score under 20; the differences are in the loaded words, the drama and the claims nobody puts their name to.

What changed

Headline check

One of the three things this headline claims is not in the report.

  • The headline puts “‘pulling out all stops’” 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
