Previous Troubling Reports

This article is quick to point out the fact that Crooks allegedly donated to ActBlue, which supports democrats, while barely mentioning his republican political affiliation. This indicates that the author wants to push an agenda, and articulates the information in a specific way in order to do so.

I think from the title alone this news is troubling as the reader is now facing extreme bias from the first line they read due to the name calling and partisan divide this article is creating. Further the entire article goes on to criticize and blame one party and makes very unequal and troubling comparisons throughout the article. It is so biased that there is no attempt at all to understand the other side's perspective or offer a counterargument. Further, the article jumps to conclusions without showing how they got there and is making assumptions with large gaps which is scary to read especially when the article is discussing death as one of the conclusions.

Although the article is short, it is filled with displays of bias against Biden's debate performance, including the headline. Facts are presented in the story, such as details about Biden's upcoming news conference, but everything else is largely the author's opinion. There are almost no sources to back up the author's claims, so the author is doing less reporting and more opinion-writing.

This article talks about the shooting at the Trump rally where a sniper shot Trump's right ear. As it notes what happened, the author mentions how Trump's security was lacking and how it is strange that somebody could obtain roof access close to a rally. It was also noted that the sniper was seen before the rally outside with a gun, and people thought he was suspicious, but nothing happened.

I could not find the original article discussing Tucker Carlson's views, but the misleading part is his speech about Rep. Omar. Her larger statement was reflective of changing systemic issues in American, but Carlson misconstrued her words and made personal attacks against her. Most concerning were his attacks about immigrants, claiming that she is proof of how immigration can negatively impact the country. Tucker Carlson saying things like this to his large and impressionable audience is very troubling because it causes people to have contempt for others without good reason.

This article immediately states as fact that the shooter and another person are dead without saying alleged.

The use of the word "betrayal" and phrase "Russian puppet" already shows a strong bias right off the bat. Implying that former President Trump is somehow insidiously in league with a Russian puppet leader, and implying that he is a traitor, has the potential to further aggravate the polarization in the United States. This is compounded by the article mentioning that Hungary and Russia allegedly interfered in the 2020 Slovak election and it also saying to pay attention to Orban's moves around Trump's people, including the Heritage Foundation. There is plenty to be criticism to go around regarding the conduct of the Hungarian Prime Minister, but it does seem rather bold to imply Donald Trump is a traitor just for hosting him. As mentioned, this can aggravate polarization if people think Trump is traitor and in turn view the people who support him as the same. And for people who support Trump, they more likely than not view this article as an outright attack on Trump from "liberal fake news," feeding into that already prevalent perception.

The title suggests that Biden urgently needs defending and there is an overwhelmingly large number of Democrats who are hastily supporting him, but it only includes a few examples, one of which is from a social media influencer. It only includes a different perspective at the very end of the article with a quote from an un-cited source that made a personal jab at the Biden family.

The headline for this article does not present the information in the correct light. While Biden had said that the results of the plan did not quite meet the expectations prior to its implementation, he never admitted that the plan was a failure. This title exaggerates the truth to the extent that it could be classified as misinformation.

This article is troubling from the start because it repeats the quote from Steve Scalise twice. It shows that it was not done with much caution as it should be.

First of all, this article claims that supporters of a childcare program are 'emasculating men'. The GOP rep suggests trying to remove such programs to make men feel a part of the family again. This is simply complete blasphemy. not only is this article blatantly degrading a basic child support program, but he is also making it seem like men have no place anymore, without providing evidence.
