Input: Consider Input: Paragraph: "The story states that US sales for the product hit $99 million in 2008. But it never explained the cost to the individual. The study ""found no effect,"" the story states succinctly. The story said the researchers found the product to be safe. But it could have mentioned that the National Center for Complementary & Alternative Medicine states ""Side effects of ginkgo may include headache, nausea, gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, dizziness, or allergic skin reactions. More severe allergic reactions have occasionally been reported."" Although the discussion was brief, it did refer to the study as ""properly designed"" and ""placebo controlled."" There was no disease-mongering of dementia or cognitive decline. 3 short quotes with different perspectives, presented in balance. In a story based on a study that pokes holes in some peoples' beliefs about a product to prevent cognitive decline, there could have been at least one line about other research into cognitive decline. The widespread use of the product is clear in the story. The story states that the product has been in use for more than 500 years. We can't be sure of the extent to which the story was influenced by a news release. it apparently did lift one quote from a news release/statement." Claim: Study: Ginkgo biloba has no effect on Alzheimer's, dementia

Output: In fewer words than its HealthDay competitor (404 words vs. 740), this story did a slightly better job on providing context and balance. Americans spend about $100 million a year on this stuff.

Input: Consider Input: Paragraph: "Sen. Barack Obama, speaking to veterans, lashed into his opponent for poor military judgment, alleging Sen. John McCain had fixated on Iraq immediately after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. ""Sen. McCain was already turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11, and he became a leading supporter of an invasion and occupation of a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, and that as despicable as Saddam Hussein was posed no imminent threat to the American people,"" Obama said on Aug. 19, 2008. ""Two of the biggest beneficiaries of that decision were al-Qaida's leadership, which no longer faced the pressure of America's focused attention; and Iran, which has advanced its nuclear program, continued its support for terror, and increased its influence in Iraq and the region."" Obama's analysis of the war's consequences aside, we checked the record to see whether he had fairly characterized McCain's views about Iraq after 9/11 and in the run-up to the war. As a military veteran and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain was a prominent voice in late 2001 as the nation grappled with how to respond to the attacks. On Sept. 12, 2001, he appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews, where Matthews asked whether the appropriate response should be ""a legal matter or a military matter."" ""I think it's both,"" McCain replied. ""As as we stated, the a nation has the right to defend itself, No. 1. But No. 2, these organizations could not flourish effectively unless they had the help and assistance and safe harbor of these nations. And it isn't just Afghanistan we're talking about Syria, Iraq, Iran, perhaps North Korea, Libya and others."" That comment was not particularly specific to Iraq. But in an Oct. 18, 2001, appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, with the nation on edge about the anthrax mailings and in the early stages of the campaign in Afganistan, McCain singled out Iraq. After sharing his views about how events were unfolding in Afghanistan, McCain told Letterman: ""I think we'll do fine. The second phase if I could just make one, very quickly the second phase is Iraq. There is some indication, and I don't have the conclusions, but some of this anthrax may and I emphasize may have come from Iraq."" In January 2002, while touring the flight bridge of an aircraft carrier on the Arabian Sea, McCain shouted: ""Next up: Baghdad!"" He fleshed out his views in a speech at a NATO security policy conference in Munich on Feb. 2, 2002. ""Terrorist training camps exist on Iraqi soil, and Iraqi officials are known to have had a number of contacts with al-Qaida. These were probably not courtesy calls,"" he said. ""Americans have internalized the mantra that Afghanistan represents only the first front in our global war on terror. The next front is apparent, and we should not shrink from acknowledging it. A terrorist resides in Baghdad, with the resources of an entire state at his disposal, flush with cash from illicit oil revenues and proud of a decade-long record of defying the international community's demands that he come clean on his programs to develop weapons of mass destruction."" We should note that McCain suggested on several occasions that he would prefer alternatives to full-on invasion and occupation as a means of displacing Saddam Hussein, such as on Meet the Press on July 14, 2002: ""I have always strongly felt that you must try the option of opposition from within arming, training, equipping and helping oppositions from within; the Kurds in the North, the Shiites in the South,"" McCain told the late Tim Russert. ""At least try that option before we send Americans into harm's way."" But two days later on Face the Nation, he made clear that if it took war to remove Hussein, he was all for it. ""Look, we need a regime change in Iraq,"" he said. ""If we can do it on the cheap by having operations involving just Special Forces and some air power and opponents within, either the Kurds in the south, Shiites in the north [sic], then that's fine. But we have to be prepared to do whatever is necessary to bring about this regime change. I think we also ought to prepare the American public in in by way of informing them that Saddam Hussein has these weapons, continues to attempt to improve the their capability and would not be reluctant to export them to other countries."" He continued, ""So we need to keep telling the American people that as well, as well as basically if I may be so blunt frightening them frightening and scaring them every day."" In early 2003, with calls for invasion of Iraq growing more insistent, McCain's was among the most fervent voices. ""Sept. 11, 2001 showed that al-Qaida is a grave threat,"" he wrote in a Feb. 14, 2003 opinion piece in USA Today. ""Saddam Hussein has the ability to make a far worse day of infamy by turning Iraq into a weapons assembly line for al-Qaida's network. ... Saddam is an international felon who has repeatedly violated the terms of his parole and is planning further crimes with his terrorist accomplices. He must be brought to justice once and for all."" The record clearly supports the contention that McCain ""was already turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11"" indeed he singled out Iraq on Letterman and became a ""leading supporter"" of the war, as Obama said. We find his claim to be ." Claim: Sen. McCain was already turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11, and he became a leading supporter of an invasion and occupation of (Iraq).

Output: McCain's record on Iraq: eager to attack

Input: Consider Input: Paragraph: Proudly gay and living with HIV, the 41-year-old activist says the rainbow flag will not be his only cause. He intends to begin his congressional career with three main agenda points: Fighting endemic corruption, ensuring Guatemalans' right to health care and defending human rights, with a focus on the LGBTQ community. "I'm happy, with a lot of mixed feelings," Davila said in an interview with The Associated Press. "The worry is I'm putting myself in a snake pit. But at the same time I'm no slouch, and I'm ready and able to fight when it needs to be done." While it hasn't been officially confirmed by electoral authorities, experts say Davila's left-wing Winaq party won four congressional seats in Sunday's general election, and he is set to represent a Guatemala City district. "People have to see me as just another citizen, since I was elected democratically," Davila said. Guatemala has taken baby steps toward guaranteeing LGBTQ rights, such as adopting measures to identify hate crimes against members of the community and allowing people to change their legal names and choose how they appear in photos on official IDs, which let transgender people better express their identity. It remains a socially conservative society, however, with the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant faiths dominant. Prejudice and fears over HIV are deeply rooted, and LGTBQ people have historically been the targets of discrimination and sometimes assault, although such treatment is slowly becoming less socially acceptable. Neither Davila's name nor photo was on the ballot only the name of his party and he didn't emphasize his sexuality during the campaign. So Gabriela Tuch, a lawyer and former human rights prosecutor focusing on the LGBTQ community, said his election can't be attributed to any significant shift in attitudes. "It's not that society has said, 'A gay man, affirmative action, let's vote for him,'" Tuch said. "He was favored by the votes and the position he was in. Now the challenge begins." One of the congressman-elect's first battles will be opposing a bill proposed by the conservative party that would criminalize abortion and codify into law that same-sex couples are barred from marrying or adopting children. He also intends to propose a new commission that would report and investigate all kinds of discrimination. "You cannot be a spectator when your country is falling apart," Davila said. "You have to take a leading role." That's why Davila was motivated to accept an offer to run for the party, founded in 2009 by Nobel Peace Prize-winner Rigoberta Menchu. Davila lives in Guatemala City with his partner of 19 years and their gray Schnauzer, Valentino. Davila said both inspire his activism and political participation. He said he considers himself lucky because he has the love and support of family members who were always open and accepting of his sexuality. His mother went with him to the country's first Pride march in 2000. Until recently Davila was the director of Positive People, an organization supporting those living with HIV. He said that people have often come to him with complaints about discrimination, and that he himself was once dismissed from a job. "Look, here are my diplomas and my trophies," Davila said. "But they fired me because they found out that I'm gay, and that's how things are here." Davila said that when he was 22 he suffered from meningitis, which ultimately led him to discover that he had HIV. Today he is in good health, but he knows some may not understand how the virus is transmitted and may be afraid. "It's very hard, of course, that they're not even going to want to sit next to me," he said. "In this country people should no longer be dying of AIDS," Davila continued. "It's the stigma and the discrimination that kill you, and the lack of medicine." Jose Arriaza, a 24-year-old who identifies as queer, said Davila's election gives him hope because he now sees himself being represented. Guatemalans will have to learn to accept diversity, he added. He "isn't your typical privileged white man, like a majority of the congressmen nowadays," Arriaza said. "For me he's an example to follow, because he is someone empowered with ideals that help the community." Carlos Valenzuela, a 36-year-old openly gay business administrator, agreed. "It's fantastic because what we most want is to feel represented," Valenzuela said. "All minorities should be represented." Davila said his path was paved by Sandra Moran, the first Guatemalan lawmaker who openly identified as lesbian. "She is a courageous woman who inspired me," he said. But she didn't have it easy, and was even insulted on occasion by some of her colleagues over her sexual orientation. Davila, who said he's been subjected to verbal abuse since he was young, is prepared to possibly go through the same thing. "A worker at congress called me and congratulated me and told me to prepare myself," Davila said. "But I will try to not respond to the attacks." "With all the homophobia there is," he added, "they could even boot me from my seat." Davila criticized those who have pushed legislation limiting sexual diversity rights and said he does not believe Guatemalan society will change its views in the short term. "We have to do a lot of work on educating, in demanding that the state be secular and for the church to stop intervening in things that don't concern it," he said. "We need to rule with the Constitution and not the Bible." Claim: Aldo Davila set to be Guatemala's 1st openly gay congressman.
Output: Aldo Ivan Davila Morales is poised to take up a seat in Guatemala's congress in January, making history as the first openly gay man elected to the country's legislature.
