Neutral rewrite ready

Neutral rewrite generated

**Investigation complete.** Raw Story (progressive outlet) used selective quotes and loaded framing to portray Trump's official attendance at the 2026 World Cup trophy ceremony as an intrusive "photobomb" met with universal ridicule. The event itself is real—Spain's team photo omitted him—but the article omits key context about his protocol role and prior Argentina support. Two findings and one omission recorded. Narrative, verdict, and rewrite generated. Report submitted.
