Why am I seeing this Ranked on corroboration — 2 independent outlets

2 independent outlets carried this — Ign. Agreement across newsrooms that do not share an owner is the strongest thing we can measure, so it carries the most weight.

The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.

Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
