Doctors issue urgent warning over ingredient found in popular drinks that turbocharges CANCER
This title is misleading and alarmist, particularly the use of "turbocharges." The article discusses how the study being referenced "suggests" that the ingredient "may" contribute to cancer (not CANCER) like the headline emphasizes. The reason this is troubling is because the reality of the situation is that while their is research, it is still very early and contains nothing to warrant the use of "turbocharges"

Stocks Surge on Trump-China Tariff Truce, Bringing Relief to 401(k) Holders
https://www.newsweek.com/stocks-surge-trump-china-tariff-truce-bringing-relief-401-k-holders-2071177
The title misleadingly implies that the stock market is healing, when in reality, there is a mere 90 day pause on the high tariffs between the U.S. and China and no permanent solution yet. The article emphasizes the temporary relief rather than the reality of the situation, which is that the stock market is still lower than it was months ago in February, and the good trade relations may not last.
Urgent warning over popular health food that’s riddled with toxins linked to autism, cancer
This article is spreading hysteria and misinformation about the fact that a lot of cassava-based snacks were found to have lead. It claims the exposure to lead can create autism, and while lead and autism are linked, there isn't enough research in this area to make this bold of a claim. In addition, only one sentence is devoted to the arsenic found in some of the products, which it explains can cause cancer. However, the article failed to report that Consumer Reports stated the amount of arsenic found were far below their levels of concern for it.

Cancer misinformation outperforms medical facts on social media, study finds
Misinformation, especially when spread on social media platforms like X, spreads quickly and is difficult to retract. Even after the truth is revealed, the false narrative may linger in people's minds.

Jasmine Crockett says Democrats want ‘the safest white boy’ for 2028 ticket and have a specific candidate in mind
This article discusses how Democrats now have a fear of voting for women because every woman that has ran for president so far has lost. However, the title can be misleading as it implies that there has already been a chosen candidate when there is still speculation surrounding the candidate's identity and whether or not they will actually be running for office.

Trump Announces ‘Full and Immediate Ceasefire’ between India and Pakistan
This article restates claims made by Trump, stating that his administration played an integral role in negotiating the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan on May 10, when later reports stated that the Trump administration was not as heavily involved in the negotiations. This false claim gives the Trump administration an undeserved political accomplishment and could have a positive bias in how readers interpret the stability of the ceasefire, as a ceasefire backed by a strong foreign power would seem to be more likely to be upheld.

This article focused heavily on Democrats' criticism of the Defense Department's actions, even singling out the Defense Secretary by naming him as the sole perpetrator in the article title, rather than focusing on the Defense Department as a whole. The article includes no full quotes from Trump on the matter while portraying these actions as being motivated by the Trump administration's intentions. The majority of the article is spent on opposition to these actions instead of providing more details for the decision itself.
White House withdraws another key nomination with last-minute pivot for US surgeon general
The phrasing "key nomination" indicates that there is something important about the old nomination that the administration will be missing out on. However, the only information that makes this change critical is the timing of it, as the hearing for the old nominee was supposed to be today.

https://thecradle.co/articles/dozens-killed-as-india-pakistan-exchange-heaviest-fire-in-decades
India and Pakistan have repeatedly engaged in open conflict, with the most recent clash occurring as recently as 2019...so it's hardly been decades of peace. It's also important to note that these strikes are taking place in a disputed territory. It’s not officially part of Pakistan, nor is it fully recognized as India’s. Essentially, it’s a no man’s land currently under Pakistani occupation.
