Before “Often cited as an early campaign use of entertainment television to reach voters.”
After “Late-night sax performance drew criticism; later commentators tied it to 2024 podcast campaigning.”
Why it was flagged
Unattributed framing claim ('often cited') presented as a factual lede without naming who cites it, duplicating the body's 'later accounts' sentence.
What was done
Confirmed against Poynter: the significance comes from named commentators (Phil Edwards ties it to 2024 campaigns; the article notes 2024 called the 'first podcast election'). Poynter also places it after earlier precedents (Harding, FDR), so 'early' was unsupported. Replaced the lede with the documented reaction and the commentators' link, so it no longer repeats the body.

Before “Some commentators questioned whether the performance was presidential; later accounts describe it as a moment when campaigning moved onto entertainment programs that reached voters outside news coverage, particularly younger and Black viewers.”
After “Some critics said the performance was not presidential. Later accounts describe it as a move by campaigns onto entertainment programs outside news coverage, and as the moment Clinton built support among young and Black voters.”
Why it was flagged
Body says 'younger and Black viewers'; the UPI source (citing the Baltimore Sun) speaks of a coalition of young people and African Americans as voters, and Poynter supports only the youth vote.
What was done
Split into two sentences, matched Poynter's 'some critics said it wasn't presidential', and restated the young/Black claim as UPI frames it (support among voters), still under 'later accounts'.
