  "limitations": [
    "This is a bounded headline sample, not every article published by every outlet.",
    "A zero result establishes absence from this sample only. It does not establish coordination, motive, or a total media blackout.",
    "The sample measures headline visibility and does not count a term that appears only in an article summary or body.",
    "Feed availability, syndication, geography, personalization, and collection time can affect which headlines appear."
  ],
  "interpretation": "The sampled current headline corpus contained no Epstein headline. Because recent Associated Press and Axios articles demonstrate some reporting, the defensible finding is a current headline-prominence gap in this sample, not an absence of all reporting."
