Why Troubling News:

This article is troubling because the author singles out Biden's economic policies as a central cause of retail store closures. If the author provided evidence regarding these claims, providing proof that policies President Biden enacted resulted in the closure of these stores, the article would not misinform. However, the author failed to offer any evidence concerning these issues, instead providing quotes from others who also blame the Biden administration for the problem, again without direct evidence. The article misinforms the reader, blaming the current president for issues such as "theft" with no connection to any specific policy the administration put into place. Bias is extreme within this article, and leads readers to hone their blame on the president where it may not necessarily be warranted, even if the president's policies affect the health of small businesses, the author does not prove this is the case.
