## What is News?

News-Distiller summarizes any news article into clear, structured key points — and tells you where it sits on the political spectrum, with the evidence to back it up.

Open any article in Safari, tap News-Distiller, and in seconds you'll see:

- Executive Summary — the article's core message in plain language
- Context & Background — what you need to know to understand the story
- Key Findings — the most important facts and developments
- Implications — what this means going forward
- Political Lean — Left to Right spectrum assessment with supporting evidence
