WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Several unsupported characterizations and source-commentary statements can be fixed by deleting or tightening them to the cited sources. - "Trump Presses Xi Over Alleged Chinese Support for Iran During Washington Summit": The sources support that Trump asked Xi to stop Chinese support for Iran, but not that he 'pressed' Xi over 'alleged' support; this wording adds unsupported characterization. - "Trump told Xi that Chinese help for Iran was “unacceptable,” The Guardian reported.": The Guardian says Trump said 'any Chinese help for Iran is unacceptable,' not the quoted wording given. - "The issue arose as CNN reported that intelligence from Chinese groups was helping Iran target U.S. sites with increasing effectiveness.": The story states a timing or causal relationship ('arose as') that is not supported by the sources. - "Publicly available accounts did not detail the nature of the alleged assistance or Xi’s response to Trump’s request.": This is commentary about what the source material does not say. - "The Iran discussion formed part of a broader summit that emphasized warmer personal and diplomatic ties while leaving major disputes unresolved.": This sentence states significance and stakes as reporting; it is only supported as Guardian editorial characterization, not as fact.
