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.

Biden has to show stamina and sharpness. Democrats are growing impatient.

Why Troubling News:

This article proves to be very conservative. It mentions that Democrats wanted to see Biden's path to victory but that he has fallen short. The author is outright biased when describing Biden's performance in the debate, describing it as a "disastrous debate performance" and saying that he has gone backward. By the tone of this article, it's clear that they're anti-Biden. It provides statistics about the polls showing Biden further behind and other stats saying that many think he is too old to serve as president.

We now know how bad the debate was for Biden

Why Troubling News:

This article is extremely biased against the democrats and is extremely right leaning. This article clearly states how Biden is on the losing end of the presidential race. Thiis article does not just portray the details of the debate, but the article defenitely has a biased against the democratic party. The author also uses a bunch of agist words against Biden claiming he is too old to run as presidents.

Biden vows to stay in race ‘to the end’, as governors affirm support

Why Troubling News:

At the end of the article, the author informs the reader that Biden stepping aside as the Democratic presidential nominee would bring the race into "uncharted territory." However, this is misinformation. It has occurred before when Lyndon B Johnson stepped down from the presidential race. It is ultimately misleading to imply that this sort of political occurrence is totally unprecedented.

‘Chaos is our friend.’ How Trump is quietly planning around Biden’s uncertain future

Why Troubling News:

This entire article frames the Trump re-election campaign as a nefarious one lurking around. Lines such as "Republicans are now plotting how to hit Harris" and a supposed quote from a Trump ally of "chaos is our friend" are neither sourced nor explained. On the other hand, it uses a lot of words like "Democratic panic" and "Trump's team is scrambling" without evidence that these two teams are not prepared.

FACT CHECK: Trump made 41 false claims during Temple rally

Why Troubling News:

The fact that a news source for the university itself who held a rally for Donald Trump had to independently verify his claims during such is astounding. What's more troubling, however, is not the fact that they felt the need to do so, but the fact that this bipartisan, moderate news source discerned over 40 false claims made. It goes to show we must be more wary of the information fed to us.

SCOTUS Immunity Ruling Further Delays Trump Trial In Jack Smith’s DC Lawfare

Why Troubling News:

This is a classic example of authors using loaded terms to prime their audience. One should be wary of any buzzwords like "lawfare" that don't really mean anything useful but are often used simply to poison the waters of decent discourse. Also, the article unhelpfully focuses on what the ruling means for Trump's personal situation instead of the worrying precedent this sets, demonstrating the author's bias.

OBAMACARE ISN’T AFFORDABLE.

Why Troubling News:

I found it concerning that the author was able to write an article about how unaffordable Obamacare is, but could not site any data to prove this assertion. But I think the most misleading thing about this is that Obamacare is extremely complex, healthcare inflation has been higher than the average rate of inflation for decades and The solution was not explained either. This kind of news offers no real factual information while at the same time confirming conservative bias which contributes to polarisation.

A video shows tall black fences put up Monday to block access to the Supreme Court building in Washington, an indication of impending “chaos.”

Why Troubling News:

Social media spread the false report that tall black fences were surrounding and blocking access to the Supreme Court building when in reality this video was from 2022. These fences were put up when there was a leaked draft that signaled the overturning of Roe v. Wade. But, users are making it seem that this is current to try and spread the idea that they are preparing for chaos. However, the building does not have these blockades currently and are open at their regular public hours.
