Houthis say they struck oil facility close to Saudi Arabian capital, as Saudis hit Sanaa
From the report
How outlets headlined it
Each outlet's own headline. Struck through: the loaded words our version leaves out. Plainest first.
- SBS News (World) Houthis say they struck oil facility close to Saudi Arabian capital, as Saudis hit Sanaa plain
- The West Australian Yemeni Houthis say they struck Saudi Aramco facility plain
- ABC News Houthis target Saudi oil facility as hostilities escalate in Yemen plain
Headline check
One of the two things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.
- “Saudis” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. One name in this headline is spelled almost the same as a word in the report — the difference between a country and its adjective, for instance. We cannot tell whether they are the same thing, so that one was not checked either way rather than reported as missing. How this is checked
This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 677-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
How each outlet filed it
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.
