Lesson
Some coverage is mostly interpretation wrapped around a few verifiable facts. The job is not to decide whether the piece is right or wrong. It is to extract the facts you can stand on and label the rest: opinion, framing, unverified claim, or distraction.
The result is a fact ledger: a short list of what you objectively learned, each item with its source. If an article is 90 percent opinion, the ledger will be short, and that is the finding.
