Breaking Story Fact vs Speculation Split
Separates confirmed facts from rumor during a developing story using Grok's live X feed and DeepSearch.
Run this when a story is moving faster than news sites can publish and you need to brief someone without repeating unverified claims.
Prompt
Something is breaking right now about [EVENT]. Use your real-time X access plus DeepSearch to build this briefing: 1. Confirmed facts — only what multiple credible sources agree on 2. Reported but unconfirmed — what is being claimed without solid sourcing 3. Pure speculation or rumor — flag it as such 4. The 3 accounts closest to the story (reporters, officials, eyewitnesses) 5. What is most likely to change in the next 12 hours Keep the three buckets strictly separated. Do not let speculation leak into the facts bucket even if it is popular.
Parameters
