    The directly fetched publisher record identifies the retained segment as Fox Business's Varney & Co. on August 6, while the X News headline uses the broader 'Fox News' label.

    The distinction follows the publisher's own metadata and avoids conflating Fox Business with a separately identified Fox News program.
