Relatedly, I wonder if we count misrepresenting a misleading news article such that it becomes more-accurate as misrepresenting news content…

Since the model doesn't get to observe the actual situation being reported on, such an improvement in accuracy would only be random chance and should not be rewarded.

Oh, agreed, they don’t get points for failing the task but accidentally reporting something more-correct in the process.

Less consistently one sided and manipulative. I’d say better. Though fox will give you a more consistent narrative and worldview so if there’s value in that…
