Currently serving as general counsel for the Federal Communications Commission, Candeub recently penned a report about how we need to criminalize pornography in order to protect marriage and promote human flourishing.

The wording urges a conclusion or action rather than only describing the reported facts. Its weight is reduced because this article is identified as opinion.

Useful context, not penalties

Opinion format Argumentative wording is expected in this format, so narrator-voice and decision-pressure cues receive reduced weight.
Attributed claims Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.
Uncertainty qualifiers Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.
Charged wording in quoted context The wording was preserved as context but excluded from the grade because it appeared in an attributed quote or a legal/allegation context.

What this grade does and does not mean

This grade evaluates wording and reader-steering cues, not factual accuracy.
The outlet's general profile is separate context and does not affect this article grade.
Potential omissions require comparison with other reporting and are not graded from one article alone.
