Outlets edit stories after they go out, usually without saying so. We keep what we saw the first time.
From the report
Headline check
One of the two things this headline claims is not in the report.
- The headline puts “cash cows” 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 1987-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.
