Headline-vs-Body Check
For each article below, we extract the claim the headline is making and show the sentence from the body that does or doesn’t support it. We don’t label a headline “misleading” or otherwise characterize intent — we show you the evidence and a neutral status, and you draw the conclusion. Results below a confidence threshold withhold the status entirely and show only the matched evidence.
