Why Troubling News:

This article seeks to describe a “new” image of Donald Trump being put forward at the Republican National Convention in Milkwaukee. While it includes quotes from several of Trump’s family members and associates, it paints him in a negative light. The bias is very clear against him and his policies (expressed in the title alone). For example, author Adam Nagourney writes: “The gap between the reality of Mr. Trump and the portrait painted at his nominating convention may prove to be too vast for any Republican makeover.” Nagourney takes a rather subjective stance throughout this piece, which makes it difficult for readers to form unbiased opinions. If the author had omitted personal statements and beliefs, the report would be more reliable.
