AOC slammed for saying ‘false accusations’ of antisemitism are ‘wielded against people of color’

Why Troubling News:

It isn't fake news, but it is incredibly biased. The author doesn't use any direct quotes from anyone defending AOC, besides AOC herself. The author's tone and diction also make it clear that she doesn't support AOC.

How Israel’s daring hostage rescue mission unfolded: ‘A surgical operation’

Why Troubling News:

It appears as though Fox News has reported some false statistics on the Palestinian death toll from the operation to rescue Israeli hostages. Additionally, the networks diction and tone indicates some level of disregard for Palestine casualties. The mention of them was a mere afterthought towards the end of the piece, and they insinuated that some could have been terrorists. While this could be true, the operation was done at a refuge camp and likely involved tons of innocent civilians-- far more than what Fox mentioned. Fox News tends to lean conservative according to Biasly, and I have noted a consistent pro-Israel tone from them.

Elderly pro-lifer’s husband begs court for mercy as judge sentences ailing wife to prison

Why Troubling News:

This article is troubling because it is clearly biased toward the woman convicted of violating a federal act. It also works hard to make you feel bad for Mrs. Harlow and as if she is the victim in the matter who has been unduly punished for her actions by mentioning the state of her health and her own personal convictions about why she did what she did. It is unfortunate to see an elderly person go to prison, but she is not the victim the article makes her to be, because she did exactly what she was convicted of.

While the author does quote a Democrat chairwoman, most of the quotes come from Trump. Also, most of these quotes from Trump criticize Biden's border policy while promoting his own, therefore presenting Trump's border policy as positive and Biden's as negative.

New York Democrat congressional candidate suggests MAGA supporters go to ‘re-education camp’

Why Troubling News:

This article title was clearly biased, trying to paint Paula Collins in a negative light. However, upon reading the article further there is more clarification as to what she meant when saying that statement. The most troubling aspect of this article, though, was the very end where the author tries to invalidate her candidacy by implying that she rents a room in New York for the sole purpose of running for office.

Biden defends democracy in Europe while Trump undermines it at home

Why Troubling News:

Just by the title alone, we can determine that this is a very liberal piece. This is praising Biden for upholding Democracy while criticizing Trump for undermining it. Trump was described as trashing US elections, while Biden. Trump was accused of meeting with Putin solely as an attempt to score political points, and the whole article portrays Trump in a very negative light

Why Troubling News:

This article misrepresents the statements and reports written by the Boston Children's Hospital co-director of the Center for Gender Surgery. The statements made only discussed the possibility of opening specialized clinics for gender surgery or gender-affirming care as there is a possibility people from states that make this care illegal will travel for it.

The end of the article uses evidence that was incorrect and misrepresented the hospital's services which has previously been used to incite violence against members of the hospital and those who receive care from the hospital.

Judge Sentences 75-Year-Old Woman for Praying at Abortion Clinic, Taunts Horrified Husband for Christian Faith: Report

Why Troubling News:

This news is more than troubling. It is based on the false claim that a 75-year-old woman was arrested for praying outside of an abortion clinic, when rather she was arrested for participating in and assisting in the formation of an illegal blockade to the clinic, which is ruled unlawful under the FACE Act. Instead of spreading correct information, sources have been shredding the judge assigned to the case and the overall U.S. justice system for the ruling. The article dives even deeper into bias later on as it downplays reproductive care and access for women, as well as calling BLM/other civil rights protesters terrorists and rioters.
