• Leaves out the climate linkAn extreme heat, wildfire weather, drought, extreme rainfall, tropical cyclone or marine heatwave story with no word that warming makes such events worse.40%4 of 10
• Drops what it reported beforeThe outlet or the reporter reported a fact or a description of the same event earlier and now leaves it out or softens it, so a reader of this article believes something the outlet's own reporting contradicts. Not repeating background totals is not this technique.10%1 of 10
• Headline goes beyond the articleThe headline states what the body does not support, drops the attribution the body gives, or puts in quotation marks words nobody in the article said.10%1 of 10
• One side gets the spaceOne side's voices fill the article when the story concerns both, and the other side appears only as numbers or not at all.10%1 of 10
