Previous Troubling Reports

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.

The title itself demonstrates bias against Biden, by referring to his presidential campaign in a negative manner. More of the bias against Biden is evident when he states, "One thing is certain: the confusion perfectly captures the helter-skelter mess Biden has created. His misbegotten presidency amounts to a long list of major failures and he should have had the sense a year ago to pass the torch." The author then speaks negatively of Democrats by writing, "If you are a Trump-hating Democrat, you are probably having trouble separating your nightmares from reality." Later, he pushes the idea that Biden will drop out of the race, writing, "Make no mistake — it will be an exit from the race. He’s running out of time and options..." Here, the writer insists that Biden will drop out, when on reality this has not been confirmed.

Most of the article's quotes come from either Trump or Vance, which creates a bias in favor of them. Some of the quotes themselves also place Trump in a postive light. For example, one of Trump's quotes reads, "They keep saying he’s a threat to democracy. I’m saying, ‘What the hell did I do for democracy?’ Last week, I took a bullet for democracy.” Another quote describing Trump states, “He’s not afraid to fight for us and we’re not afraid to fight for him."

This article is misleading because, as the leading members of the Republican party have become more conservative and extremist in some cases, discussions around immigration have dramatically changed. Certainly, the number of people who have shifted their opinions on immigration and oppose it is subject to change at any time. That said, this article does not reflect the increased hostility and negative sentiments spewed toward immigrants that has altered how people feel about the situation. Additionally, the "border crisis" has been at the forefront of policy concerns for a number of politicians and so people are hearing about this more which makes it seem like America is suffering from a dangerous immigration issue. This article shares a real issue, but it is not fully accurate in explaining which American desires on the topic have shifted so prevalently in recent years.

The the elephant in the room for how this article is bias is that the author is former Representative Tim Ryan who ran against JD Vance in the US Senate election in 2022. This alone is already telling of how the article is going sound and feel when read. To add to this, claiming that a candidate is against freedom also seems like a red flag. As much as Americans may disagree adamantly with each other, a claim like this sets a dangerous precedent. Regardless of how much America may stumble at living up to its principles, saying that a candidate is against one of those principles makes that person seem un-American and in turn increase polarization.

This news is troubling because the language is very obviously biased. The article cites quotes from Daniel Dale that have an evident bias. For instance, the article writes "It just went on and on and on in terms of falsehood just like the speech went on and on and on itself." When looking at similar articles addressing lies in Trump's speech, there is a clear difference between unbiasly reporting on this topic and biasly reporting.

First, the title is unspecific about who "all" is referring to. If "all" is implied to be all Americans, this broad of a statement cannot be true and is extremely misleading. The article claims Trump was "bleeding from the head," but he was actually bleeding from the ear. The author states that "there is only one appropriate response" to the Trump assassination attempt, which is a biased opinion. She also describes those who do not share this opinion as people living in a "cesspit," which is extremely harsh and crude language.
