    <news:title>Everyone in the corpus accepts the same sequence of events — a Tuesday debate on Fox 2 Detroit, a moderator named Roop Raj, a Republican nominee who withdrew that morning, a Democrat who showed up beside furniture. Not one outlet in the file asserts a fact that any other outlet denies. The splits are all downstream of the event: what word covers the withdrawal, whose sentences get carried, and whether an absent man was dodging, standing firm, or merely declining.</news:title></news:news></url>
