Hulk Actor Smashed For Complaining That People Died During Israeli Hostage Rescue Mission

Why Troubling News:

This article is troubling to me because it is clearly biased, framing Ruffalo's humanitarian concerns in a negative light and emphasizing critical reactions without fully exploring the complexities he raises. By focusing primarily on the backlash, the article contributes to a polarized narrative, obscuring the broader context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the ethical challenges involved in military operations. This selective representation can misinform readers, reinforcing preconceived notions rather than promoting a nuanced understanding of the situation.

‘Ongoing chaos’: Conservative group targets vulnerable Dem senators in scathing ad about key election issue

Why Troubling News:

This news reports that conservatives are lobbying democratic Senators in order to pass a bill to prevent non-US citizens from voting in elections. While this news may be beneficial in order to protect the legality of voting and allow people to influence policy that affects them, the anti-immigrant sentiment can't be ignored. The lax interchangeability between illegal immigrants and non-US citizens in the discourse of conservatives is troubling and shows the true underlying motives which are founded in racist stereotypes. This is characterised in phrases such as "They're killing Americans"

Trump smooching Joe Arpaio was MAGA masculinity in a nutshell

Why Troubling News:

Starting right off from the title this article is incredibly biased and attempts to use sarcasm to conceal this, but is simply making fun of Trump's character rather than using specific evidence of his actions. While it might not be fake news, it most certainly omits all information pertaining to the other side and the author's tone really shows this skewed bias.

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.

Trump bashes Biden’s border order as ‘bulls–t’ at fiery Arizona rally — first event since NYC conviction: ‘Joe, you’re fired!’

Why Troubling News:

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.
