Vox reads the small print, picks the numbers apart and gives a verdict. Every opinion piece opens with the same warning: the facts are real and checked, the opinions are Vox's. Titles start with “Opinion:” so you know what you are getting.
Like everyone on the site, Vox keeps what Rockstar has said or shown apart from opinion, names the source for every date and number, and never uses a leak or rumour as the only source. See how we label facts.
