How Biden’s Mental Decline Went From ‘Misinformation’ To Fact In A Week

Why Troubling News:

The bias is evident in the language, selective evidence, personal attacks, speculative claims, and lack of nuance. The assertion that the media is collectively engaging in a cover-up and is now switching narratives to facilitate Biden’s removal is speculative and lacks concrete evidence. Such conspiracy theories appeal to existing biases without providing verifiable proof. Also by framing the media's coverage of Biden as a coordinated effort to mislead the public, the article fuels distrust between opposing political groups, exacerbating the political polarisation seen in government.

Healey urges Biden to ‘carefully evaluate’ 2024 campaign after White House meeting

Why Troubling News:

The article has a bias in favor of Biden. The quotes from Healey and Wu--who are the only people quoted in the article--praise Biden's performance in his first presidential term. The article's reliability is also questionable, because it does not include quotes from anyone who dislikes Biden's presidency.

The Associated Press’ Article Defending Biden Blows Up in Their Faces Spectacularly

Why Troubling News:

The title itself demonstrates bias, since it portrays the Associated Press's failure to defend Biden as positive. The bias against Biden is also displayed when the author writes, "Were they even present for last Thursday night’s debate where Donald Trump wiped the floor with Joe Biden?...the publication peddled this masterpiece amid polls showing that three-fourths of the country think Biden is too old and frail to be president..." These statements are also not supported by direct evidence; after all, there are no quotes proving that Trump performed better than Biden at the debate, and none of the polls that are referred to in this passage are provided in the article.

“Regime Media Realizes It’s Been Lying This Whole Time (Again)”

Why Troubling News:

The use of the word "regime" in the title of the article is already concerning. The word regime is often synonymous with the word government, however it's often used in a more negative connotation and is usually associated with authoritarianism. To use it to describe an American administration, regardless of the party in charge of it or the president at the helm, hints at a strong bias against it and can have the effect of influencing people to vilify the current administration or even equate them to more authoritarian rulers overseas. The rest of the article doesn't seem to be much better, as it appears that the author is trying to create a narrative of a liberal controlled corporate media versus a more honest independent conservative media. The article and its author biases are obvious and require no further explanation. What is of greater concern is the effect that a piece like this may have on readers. A reader with a more conservative leaning who may harbor disdain for the administration or feel that many media outlets are dishonest may be pulled further to the right if influenced by an article with this kind of language. Likewise, a more liberal reader may feel disgusted and see people who write this kind of material as an enemy or radical, and in turn be pulled further to the left. In any case, an article like this with its negative language only fosters more polarization and resentment among Americans rather than unity and patriotism.

Massachusetts Gov. Healey urges Biden to ‘carefully evaluate’ whether he remains Democrats’ best hope to defeat Trump

Why Troubling News:

This news is troubling to me because it does not give much context and is evidently very biased towards the left. The article claims that President Biden "saved our democracy". This statement should have had more information surrounding it.

Biden Admin Issues Order Blocking Haitian Illegal Immigrants From Deportation

Why Troubling News:

The title of this article is misleading, as it implies that the Biden Administration enacted an order that would prevent all deportations of immigrants from that country. This description of the policy is not true, the policy only applies to certain regions of Haiti, under the guidelines that prevent deportations to war zones or extremely hazardous conditions. A reader glancing at this headline may receive a false impression of this policy's true nature and intent.
