No, The Government Is Not Controlling The Weather: “It’s So Stupid, It’s Got To Stop,” Biden Says

Why Troubling News:

This news is troubling to me because of the blatant misinformation meant to cause distrust and fear in people who easily believe in what they hear. As someone from North Carolina, I'm absolutely confused and shocked at the rumors about the federal government being able to control the weather - specifically Hurricane Helene - so that they can bulldoze Chimney Rock and mine for Lithium there. What? In addition, there is apparently speculation that the government is controlling the weather to specifically hit more Republican areas. What? It just astounds me that there is so much misinformation like this out there, and that people believe it. I appreciate the President taking the time to dispel these rumors and pledge his support for hurricane recovery efforts.

Kamala Harris is unable to answer basic questions on ‘60 Minutes’

Why Troubling News:

The Op-Ed does little more than to cherry pick at Mrs. Harris' answers and try to paint her in an antagonistic light. The language and formatting displayed comes across as petty and childish, but what truly bothers me is that one of the article's arguments is how none of the questions or answers were surprising or gotchas. I feel its expected for interviews with politicians to have answers from previous interviews, so this criticism holds almost no water. The article could've made the argument that she didn't elaborate or even give a different POV on her plans or answers, but the article didn't.

Kamala Harris Shoves the Migrant Border Crisis in Trump’s Face

Why Troubling News:

First off, this article is biased, second, it is trying to frame the issue as if the entire border issue currently is Donald Trump's fault. However, The Daily Beast fails to mention that the White House and the Vice President DOES have the unilateral authority to declare a state of emergency and deploy troops along the border. But they don't, I wonder why?

Vance’s refusal to answer if Trump lost 2020 election ‘moment of the night’: MSNBC host

Why Troubling News:

It reports on an MSNBC segment where panelists, including Nicole Wallace and Rachel Maddow, criticized Senator J.D. Vance for not answering whether he believes Trump lost the 2020 election during a debate. They labeled his non-answer as a significant moment, suggesting it undermined his performance. It shows liberal bias, highlighting the panelists' mockery without offering a balanced perspective. It simplifies Vance’s political career by implying it solely stems from Trump’s actions. Additionally, the claim that Vance is the "first vice presidential candidate in history who doesn’t know who lost the last election" is misleading, because it lacks context about his candidacy.

Debate revealed Tim Walz to be a fraud ‘everyman’ — and a lightweight

Why Troubling News:

This is yet another attempt to make Tm Walz look bad and paint an unfavorable portrait of him. The language ranges from childish to cartoony, attacking Walz for mostly petty things, which even harmed situations where the reader had a valid point, such as how Waltz responded to a question about a lie he told. Most of all, the article is guilty of trying to spread to rumor that Walz lied about his military history, when light research uncovers that he did in fact serve as a coast guard. This is a blatant lie served solely to instill mistrust amongst the population against him.

Pittsburgh Eatery Denies Vance Entrance, But Hosted Harris in August

Why Troubling News:

The article is biased in favor of Vance. It praises his behavior in the situation twice, stating that he "handled the situation well" and "handled it perfectly." The author also includes only quotes that speak negatively of Harris's visit to Primanti Bros., such as the following: “Holy hell, all these actors in these vans."

California Blinks: Governor Newsom Vetoes AI Bill Aimed at Catastrophic Harms

Why Troubling News:

The article is biased against AI. This is first seen in the title, which emphasizes how AI could cause "catastrophic harms". Then, the author includes a quote stating, "The question is, are we going to allow large AI models to make it even easier and smoother for people to do things like shut down the electric grid or build a chemical weapon? It’s not science fiction at all.” The author uses a quote that emphasizes the risks of AI, without including any from those who are in support of it. The author ends the article with this quote: “Existing laws didn’t anticipate the AI era, and so there are lots of gaps in those laws. We don’t really have clarity about what to do about copyright. We don’t have clarity about what to do with machines when they go out of control in some way.” Again, the author emphasizes the dangers of AI without including any benefits.

Trump escalates attacks on Harris’ mental fitness and suggests she should be prosecuted

Why Troubling News:

I think this article has a very noticable bias. For starters, the entire article is about Trump escalating his usage of personal and offensive attacks to Kamala. The article also brings up all of the legal cases he is facing as well, further painting Trump in a more negative light. Furthermore, the sentence "some of Trump’s supporters said he often makes offensive remarks. Still, they support his proposals to restrict immigration and said he would have a better handle on the economy" towards the end of the article almost in a sense tries to sway readers to believe that Trump supporters are "crazy" to still vote for him despite everything the article has laid out thus far. With the omitting of any "negative" portrayals on the Democratic side, it is clear that there is a bias.

Harris stretches lead over Trump in what could be significant increase

Why Troubling News:

The title says significant increase, but a quick google search to the national polling average finds that Kamala is still only slightly ahead. Significant increase is misleading and although the author says the VP is at 48 and Trump is 44.4, the polls, like I said before, suggest nothing major has changed. To be clear, I think both of these options are embarrassing for the United States but nevertheless, it is clear that The Guardian has an implicit bias and it's editors want Kamala to win.

Harris goes to the border to take Trump to task for blocking bill to fix migration issues: ‘He prefers to run on a problem’

Why Troubling News:

This article is very disingenuous and only is meant to mislead Americans. CNN is trying prop up the Biden administration and more specifically, VP Harris by making it seem that she cares more about the border. What I find to be problematic is if she cares so much, why not ask her boss to close the border? She is the Vice President of the United States of America not a random person, her boss has it in his authority to unilaterally declare a state of emergency and shut down the border. But they won't, why is that I wonder?
