When credible sources disagree on facts, present the range with citations.","Passive-voice euphemism is a propaganda frame: prefer \"Israeli strike killed X\" over \"X died in blast\" when attribution is sourced.","Strong language is load-bearing only when the evidence trail is intact: every forceful claim links to its evidence class and source."]},"generation_rules":["Agent-facing briefs, titles, alerts, and share payloads inherit this voice.","Every generated item carries publish time and age; stale or fallback data is disclosed plainly.","Palestine and conflict coverage leads by default; soft news follows.","Never invent missing facts; if Asha News does not have it, say so."]}
