Previous Troubling Reports

This article appears to have some anti-Netanyahu bias, as the alternate title was "Netanyahu's Going To See A Lot Of Empty Seats When He Addresses Congress On Wednesday." Additionally throughout the article the authors tone and diction indicate some bias. For example, the author slams the Israeli leader by arguing against "the humanitarian crisis he’s caused there, and how he’s damaged U.S.-Israel relations in the process."

The entire article places Harris in a positive light, as every quote expresses support for her in the presidential race. Also, all of the quotes come from Democrats, which prevents readers from seeing the perspectives of both sides of the political spectrum.

Most of the article's direct quotes are from Manchin, which encourages readers to adopt his point of view. By emphasizing Manchin's view, the article also frames Harris negatively for her political leaning. The title itself highlights how he perceives her as "too far left", and another one of his quotes reads, "When asked on CBS if Harris was too far left on the political spectrum, Manchin said, 'Absolutely.' He added, 'Let’s see if she comes back. You know, a person can be in one position and make a change or a direction change and I would like to see that direction change.'”

There is much debate following Biden's decision to withdraw from the presidential election. This article reports on the perspective of Vance, Trump's running mate, criticizing the fact that Kamala is the replacement. Although this article contains a lot of quotes, attempting to give an unbiased account of Vance's views, the tone indicates a conservative stance. There is not one positive comment about the democratic party in this article, only criticism. It highlights his clapbacks against Biden and Harris, mocking them.

It is clear that this news is troubling from merely reading the title. Though the article itself does not comment too much on Republicans and mostly focuses on Democrats, the general tone is very left-leaning. It comments negatively on Biden at first but paints him in a very positive light throughout the rest of the article.

While this article by Carter Sherman doesn't necessarily contain false information, it demonstrates clear bias. The author organizes the information so that the agenda of new presidential candidate Kamala Harris is painted in a positive light, whereas her opponents on the right side of the political spectrum are negatively referenced. There is also not an equal amount of detail provided about the current policies and efforts surrounding the anti-abortion as there is about the pro-abortion campaign. Some perspective is given from conservative groups, but not enough to establish a balanced report in this case. This is problematic because it has the potential to sway readers towards a particular view, especially those who may not be as politically up to date.

To start, the title expresses a bias in favor of Biden by highlighting the fact that he was called a "true friend". Also, many of the quotes speak positively of Biden and his presidency. For example, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy states, "We will always be thankful for President Biden’s leadership. He supported our country during the most dramatic moment in history, assisted us in preventing Putin from occupying our country, and has continued to support us throughout this terrible war..." However, there are no negative quotes about his time in office.

This is troubling news for the way in which it portrays a biased and one sided view of Harris, calling her a joke and other negative terms. Even more concerning is the way in which the author has used quotes to make her look worse such as by using all caps in this quote: "Harris will be even WORSE for the people of our Nation than Joe Biden". The author didn't need to make this choice, but did so anyways to further their argument and emphasize their bias.

I think this is a large claim to make especially towards the President which alone makes it troubling news. But, even more concerning is there is only one person interviewed and thus only one side being shown to represent this strong claim. In the interview, the interviewer himself says using this phrase "cover up" is a strong claim to make, yet no other sources or research are included making it incredibly biased.
