Previous Troubling Reports

I think this article is misleading because it just says that the decrease in funds to Medicaid and other government services is going to make the rich richer. However, the article does nothing to explain how the GOP is going to funnel that money to the rich which makes their claim less valid.

The article claims buying drink-by-drink is causing bars to lose money in credit card fees, since the fee is a mere percentage of the bill, it doesn't actually cost the bars money unless the fee counts as a flat rate. They claim more money is spent on these fees since COVID-19, but fail to address the lockdown in which bars made no revenue and therefore had little to no credit card fees to pay. While not political, its concerning that they arent providing accurate/complete information on how the bars are losing money.

I find that this article lacks evidence of any individual Jewish student being directly harmed during the protests. It seems more concerned with the fact that some students were protesting in support of Palestinian citizens, not in support of Hamas. The publication itself leans conservative and frequently aligns with figures like Trump. It would be more informative if the article included data, such as the number of Jewish professors at Harvard, to provide a broader context. The university is not neglecting Jewish student safety, and students have the right to protest, just as citizens do in the streets. I feel the term anti-Semitism is being overused. Advocating for the rights of Palestinian citizens, such as access to life, education, and work, does not make someone anti-Jewish. It reflects opposition to the policies of the Israeli government. Remember, Israel is not a religious institution like the Vatican; it's a state, and criticism of its government should not be conflated with hatred toward the Jewish faith or people. Using anti-Semitism as a blanket label is dangerous, it risks silencing those who speak out against violence and injustice inflicted on innocent civilians.

This article is misleading in several ways. It tries to tie Zohran Mamdani’s political beliefs to his father’s academic work without offering any real evidence that he shares or is influenced by those views. It paints Mahmood Mamdani’s scholarship as “radical,” misrepresenting complex ideas about postcolonialism and historical injustices, and even suggests he defends terrorism without actually quoting or linking to anything specific. The piece also leans heavily on guilt by association rather than focusing on Zohran’s own record or platform. It brings up his background and land ownership in Uganda as if they’re scandalous, but offers no proof of wrongdoing, just speculation.

While not necessarily misinformation, the headline and contents of this article can be misleading as it uses more subjective language and uses more biased language to describe the politicians involved.

This article clearly stirs up racial division. What does "taxing whites" even mean? Are all white Americans Scotch-Irish? Romanian? Do they even have data on all these ethnicities? Isn’t it more accurate to say that liberal Democrats aim to tax the extremely wealthy and redistribute resources back into society? The article seems to ignore the fact that wealthy individuals exist across many racial groups in New York—are we pretending successful Asians or Nigerians aren’t making millions too?

This article claims that Mamdani's tax plan will specifically target white residents and neighborhoods without citing specific sources where this claim can be confirmed. Mamdani's own campaign website also makes no mention of such plans, although tax increases for corporations are mentioned. This misinformation slanders the mayoral candidate and encourages racial division.

This article is certainly troubling news. It uses very dramatic and emotive language to describe the current situation in the Middle East. Most of its evidence and claims are also highly speculative, relying on shaky analysis of tweets and other unreliable sources. For example, the article speculates that Trump's use of the word "we" (in a tweet) implied the following: "By using 'we', Trump made it sound like he has already decided that the U.S. will soon be participating in offensive operations against Iran." These assertions were not corroborated by official government sources. The article also implies that escalation and a global crisis are inevitable. For instance, one quote in the article states that "The last time an opponent refused a demand from the United States to unconditionally surrender, two really big bombs got dropped." The article does not address the ongoing ceasefire efforts of international actors, instead presenting events as a binary showdown. As such, the article risks fueling unnecessary panic and misunderstanding, making it a source of troubling news and misinformation.
