What happened

Why the coverage differs

AI-assisted comparison · labeled · generated just generated or not yet stored · not a verdict

What happened: UK media websites given power to block Google using their articles in AI search

Where coverage diverges: Lean Left: 1 (World news | The Guardian); Center: 1 (TechSpot).

Comparison summary

AI-assisted · Cerebras / Llama · just generated or not yet stored · inspect sources below rather than trusting this alone

Where coverage diverges: Lean Left: 1 (World news | The Guardian); Center: 1 (TechSpot).

What's missing: AI bias-comparison is temporarily offline. Configure Cerebras in admin to enable rich comparison summaries.

How to read these numbers

Article count is not confirmation count. Wire rewrites and same-outlet follow-ups inflate totals. Prefer distinct publishers and primary links on each story page.
