Cluster comparison

Story comparison

You're comparing how different news outlets covered the same underlying story. The consensussection shows sentences that two or more outlets agreed on (matched as factual, not flagged as biased). Below that, you'll see each outlet's individual take and how their coverage differed.

None of this is absolute truth — single-source claims and biased sentences stay with their outlet rather than being merged into the consensus.
