Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Tier 2: a major South Korean English-language national daily's report during the Jogye Order's 2012 gambling scandal, stating plainly that the order's executive body oversees an annual budget of 30 billion won, the exact wording read from the live article's own text. The same article's gambling-stakes figure (4 to 5 million won) is NOT used for a database fact: two other outlets report the same incident at "hundreds of millions of won" and "over 1 billion won" respectively, three mutually incompatible orders of magnitude, so no single gambling-amount figure is trustworthy enough to write.
