Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that President Kennedy called himself a jelly donut when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner" in 1963?

No. Two sources directly address the claim: a Wikipedia article calls the jelly-doughnut story an urban legend and notes Berliners call the pastry 'Pfannkuchen', and a Skeptics StackExchange answer states Kennedy was correct and did not call himself a doughnut. The remaining items only confirm he said 'Ich bin ein Berliner' without addressing the doughnut interpretation.
