Why this leaning score
The use of the word 'heroes' implies a positive, patriotic tone, while the framing of a cosmetics company founder as an American hero suggests an effort to highlight success stories that align with conservative values.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph
rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.
