Analysis Summary:

The article snippet claims a tax was approved in 2013 in a major fizzy drink consuming country. Verification Sources confirm the existence of a "Witness History" episode about Mexico's soda tax. While the snippet itself is factually plausible and aligns with the episode title, the lack of specific details and the potential for selective framing of the issue contribute to a moderate bias.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** "In 2013 a new tax was approved in one of the world’s biggest consumers of fizzy drinks."
  • Verification Source #3: This source mentions "Mexico's soda tax: Confronting soft drink giants" as an episode of Witness History. This supports the claim that a soda tax was a topic covered by the program.
