Analyzed 2026-09-23 04:02 UTC. Articles are sometimes updated after publication — if a quote below isn't in the current version, the piece has changed since.

Findings may include language the outlet is quoting rather than asserting. We flag manipulation techniques wherever they appear, including inside quotations — so check each quote against the original before drawing a conclusion about the outlet.
