Headline-vs-Body Check
Paste a link below and we extract the claim its headline is making, then show the sentence from the body that does or doesn’t support it. We don’t label a headline “misleading” or otherwise characterize intent; we show you the evidence and a neutral status, and you draw the conclusion. A result the check can’t score confidently withholds the status entirely and shows only the matched evidence.
Worked examples
These four examples were written by NTN. They are not findings. The outlets, the headlines, the body text and the results are all invented, no real publication appears in them, and no real article was checked to produce them. They are here because a live check shows you exactly one outcome, the one your own link happened to produce, while these four cover every state the interface can render: supported, not found in the body, partially supported, and the low-confidence case where the status is withheld and only the evidence is shown. NTN publishes no headline findings of its own. The check above runs on the link you give it, stores nothing, and the result is yours rather than ours. See How we checked for the matching method.
