Do the reports check out?
3 of the 7 claims tested are corroborated by three or more independent outlets; 1 was found in only one of the outlets we read, so we cannot say how widely it is reported; 9 other statements appeared in only one outlet and are not shown. We read the full articles of 11 of the 11 outlets this page counts as reporting the event.
Each claim is a sentence quoted from the opening of a report. We then read every outlet's article and asked, claim by claim, whether it states the same fact, contradicts it or says nothing about it, and kept an outlet only when one of its sentences itself states the fact (shown under each claim). Outlets that print the same wire text word for word are counted as one report, so a wire story carried by three outlets is one confirmation, not three. Those judgments came from Jev (TypeSafe), a classifier that returns probabilities for fixed questions and writes no text; a judgment counted only when Jev was confident and a sentence from the article backed it. The tally says how many outlets report a claim. It does not prove the claim is true.
