Multi-source corroboration verifies facts, not framing. This panel scores the Substrate rewrite you just read (top score) and the raw source bundle it came from. A positive delta means the rewrite stripped framing from the sources; a negative or zero delta means our neutralizer let some through.

- Lede misdirectionnotable“Title and body lead with 'White House Posts Photo' and sign reactions, policy mentioned briefly in para 1”Diverts focus from policy substance to trivial photo and sign mockeryThe headline leads with who shared, posted, or reacted to the event rather than the substantive event itself — burying the actual news behind the messenger.
- Valence skewminor“Sign described as 'ridiculous', 'looks like s***', 'cheapest people possible' via quotes”Systematically negative portrayal of White House aestheticsAdjectives and adverbs systematically slant toward one interpretation even though the underlying facts are neutral.
- Selective sourcingminor“Quotes only critical X users and Democratic lawmaker on sign, no positive or neutral views”One-sided negative reactions without counterpointsEvery quoted expert shares one viewpoint; no counter-expert is given meaningful space.
