After Steve Sarkisian's interaction with ESPN reporter Holly Rowe went viral following Texas' comeback win over Ohio State, Arch Manning addressed AI-edited videos showing a fake incident where Sarkisian allegedly slapped Rowe during a post-game interview. The 22-year-old quarterback’s light-hearted comment about the false AI-generated content drew criticism on social media. In reality, Sarkisian had declined to do a halftime interview due to technical delays and briefly spoke to Rowe after the game without any physical contact.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
