WATCH: Trump blames Democrats for rural health care struggles at roundtable event

Why Troubling News:

This article is troubling news because it presents a politically charged narrative that shifts the blame for the struggles of rural healthcare onto Democrats without fully contextualizing the real, complex causes. Basically, through highlighting Trump's accuasations and grievances, the article has framed health care as a political weapon instead of a public issue. This type of coverage (also evident in the title) can and will mislead readers and contribute to increased political polarization.

Trump purges ‘lame duck’ claims with brute force, retribution and play for global domination

Why Troubling News:

This article is troubling news because of the highly charged and emotionally loaded language used throughout, which strongly shapes the reader's perception of Trump's actions and intentions. Words like "brute force", "retribution", "ravenous bids", "the agitator", and "global domination" suggest authoritarian behavior and expanionist ambitions, setting a dramatic and ominous tone for the article. The headline also frames Trump's presidency as aggressive and dangerous before the reader even engages with the content. All in all, the article demonstrates clear bias through its repeated use of emotionally charged language that frames Trump's actions in a consistantly negative and alarming way.

Rep. Ilhan Omar says federal probe into Minnesota’s welfare fraud is “creating confusion and chaos”

Why Troubling News:

This article is troubling news because of two reasons. First, the article's sensationalized, clickbait headline frames the situation dramatically before readers even engage with the details--which can potentially influence readers' perception. Second, the emotionally charged language used within the article to report on what is happening in Minnesota create a sense of urgency and conflict rather than presenting the investigation in a netural, factual way. Some examples of these phrases include "confusion and chaos", "surge of federal agents", and "political vendetta". Overall, the language used emphasizes tension and controversy instead of focusing on straightforward reporting of the events in Minnesota.

Trump Doesn’t Totally Rule Out ‘Capturing’ Putin

Why Troubling News:

The article tries to imply Trump floated the idea of capturing Putin, when the video provided shows Trump said he didn't think that would ever be necessary. That may not be an explicit, clear-as-day "no I would never do that," but it's enough where we shouldn't be publishing articles implying he would ever actually do that.

Vance’s ‘door to door’ rhetoric is reminiscent of Gestapo

Why Troubling News:

This article from MSNBC compares ICE to the gestapo and refers to the "MAGA horde." While I have enormous issues with ICE, I think making comparisons to the Nazis requires a very high bar. I still think there's a level of difference between going door to door for illegal citizens versus going door to door for anyone (citizen or noncitizen) who's outspoken as in Nazi Germany.

US military details timeline of operation to capture Maduro, revealing more than 150 aircraft involved

Why Troubling News:

This article from Fox News is essentially a highlight reel of the military and air force strength used by the US in the recent capture of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro. The focus on only the positive aspects of US military power prevents the article from staying objective and creates a right-leaning bias. The article leaves out the negative aspects of the capture and the possible oil reserve motivations, making it troubling news.
