Amir Ohana to Newsmax: Put Palestinian State in Paris, London

Why Troubling News:

The most significant shortcomings of this article are that it fails to present opposing sides and all relevant factual information. Firstly, it fails to acknowledge that Palestinians have been in the region far longer than most Israeli settlers. Further, it fails to differentiate between Hamas and the Palestinians. Such is equivalent of not differentiating between American public opinion and US military actions. While the US military can be representative of the American public, much of the American public has still condemned some actions taken by the US military. A Palestinian state does not necessarily mean a Hamas-led state. Lastly, the speaker condemns Hamas for rape, murder, and mutilation. The article takes a supportive stance on this point. But the article fails to mention that Israeli forces have done all of those mentioned above. Notably, much of modern coverage of Israeli forces discusses the terrible conditions Gazans are going through and the number of Palestinian civilian casualties.

Trump Says ‘Pocahontas’ Elizabeth Warren Needs a Drug Test

Why Troubling News:

This article uses quotes with inflammatory language like “lair,” “nut job,” and “communist” to describe Warren and Mamdani. It only focuses its criticism on Warren’s personal and political history, and shows a dismissive portrayal of Warren’s political endorsement without actual policy critique.

Schumer: No F-ing Way Will Democrats Grant Trump Extension To Keep Fighting DC Crime.

Why Troubling News:

The article deliberately misleads on both the democrats stance and why they have it. Trump took federal control over DC, an unprecedented step, and has said he intends on taking federal control over multiple other blue cities as well. The Democratic stance is that unprecedented federal control over cities and militarizing crime response is authoritarian, counterproductive, and dangerous. That is not to comment on which stance is right, but the article deliberately misleads on what the left wing belief on the D.C issue is.

Trump deploys National Guard in D.C. — even as data shows crime at 30-year low

Why Troubling News:

The article itself doesn't actually have misinformation, but I thought I did a good job of explaining the misinformation that President Trump is spreading by claiming that D.C. is filled with crime. The article has sources to show that crime is actually down in D.C. despite what President Trump is saying.

Report: Texas Democrat Fugitives Concede, Will Return to Austin

Why Troubling News:

This article is troublesome because it paints the redistricting/gerrymandering issue in a one sided light. It paints the Democrats who left the state as fugitives and the article refuses to mention the other side of the issue, which is the gerrymandering that caused the whole situation to unfold in the first place. The tone of the article is also very biased in favor of Texas Republicans.

Massachusetts Strengthens Shield Law Protecting Abortionists from Out-of-State Investigations

Why Troubling News:

This article uses inflammatory language to slander supporters of pro-choice legislation, calling them "abortionists". It also reduces the gender affirming care protected under the shield law to "sex changes" without providing examples of types of care. I find this troubling given it appears to be filled more with the authors opinions towards reproductive and gender affirming care rather than informational about what the shield laws actually do.

Pirro calls out DC laws letting ‘young punks’ off the hook for violent crimes

Why Troubling News:

The Fox News article on Jeanine Pirro's criticism of D.C.'s juvenile justice laws shows significant bias by exclusively presenting her conservative viewpoint, focusing on high-profile violent crimes involving juveniles. It lacks opposing perspectives, data, or context that might support juvenile justice reforms, portraying the laws as overly lenient without addressing the complexities of rehabilitation or the potential benefits of the Youth Rehabilitation Act. The piece selectively highlights incidents to reinforce Pirro's narrative, creating a one-sided argument.

Illegal Aliens Rig The Census For Blue States, And Trump Is Right To Correct It

Why Troubling News:

The idea that undocumented migrants being counted in the Census is affecting the apportionment of representative seats (to the benefit of Democrats) is becoming increasingly popular. Unfortunately, this is blatant misinformation. Research published to the NIH shows that since 1980, the absolute maximum # of seats that would have changed if we did not count undocumented migrants is 2. Other research from Third Way determined that there would actually have been no change at all. Additionally, the Cato Institute found that 95% of noncitizen growth in the past several years has been in red states. So, if anyone is benefiting, it is the Republican Party. So, the claim that Democrats have been lax on illegal immigration (also, they have not) in order to get more seats is just conspiratorial speculation.

Netanyahu: We May Sue New York Times for Defamation over Fake Starving Gaza Photo

Why Troubling News:

The language choice in this article clearly shows a strong bias towards Israel, and the article uses terms like "falsely purported," "fake," and "malignant lies,” without sources to back up these claims. The article only presents Netanyahu's perspective, showing his statements as facts, rather than including other perspectives, like those from the New York Times. There are no-counter arguments presented, therefore creating a one-sided argument.
