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: The story needs unsupported characterizations and source-material commentary removed or corrected. - "Sinestro creating an unspecified new threat": The sources say Sinestro creates “[SPOILER],” but do not identify it as a threat. - "setting up Stewart’s appearance in a “Superman” sequel": The sources say John Stewart powers up for a “Superman” sequel, but do not say he appears in it. - "Further details about the killer, Jordan’s fate and Sinestro’s creation were not included in the outlets’ headlines.": This is commentary about what the source material does not include rather than a reported story detail.
