Pfizer Scientist Says COVID Vax Results Were Deliberately Delayed To Influence Election

Why Troubling News:

The title and message of the news are highly misleading. Dr. Philip Dormitzer never said that the release of the COVID-19 vaccine was delayed to influence the election. The article's main source of proof includes a quote from Dr. Dormiter, saying, "Let’s just say it wasn’t a coincidence, the timing of the vaccine”. Extracting "COVID Vax Results Were Deliberately Delayed To Influence Election" from this quote is certainly a far stretch. The Infowars article also fails to mention a separate quote from Dormitzer, who stated, "My Pfizer colleagues and I did everything we could to get the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization at the very first possible moment. Any other interpretation of my comments about the pace of the vaccine's development would be incorrect" (https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-house-panel-seeks-information-pfizer-over-alleged-covid-vaccine-delay-2025-05-15/). Given the article's high degree of extrapolation, while also leaving out significant forms of counter evidence, this news is troubling and misleading.

‘This is Unjust’: Grandma Arrested Near Scottish Abortion Clinic Warns of Further Attacks on Free Speech

Why Troubling News:

This article publishes the opinion of a protester who claims that protests against abortion will be cracked down on outside of the range of the ban, when there is no evidence to suggest that this will be the case. This section, along with other parts and the general tone of the article, seeks to fearmonger about future directions that policy could take, preventing a nuanced discussion on the current state of policy.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Biden not the only loser revealed by shocking Hur audio Media that protected Biden until it couldn’t now shamelessly profits off the story they hid

Why Troubling News:

The title alone is misleading and clearly manufactured to gain traction rather than spread information. "Media that protected Biden" is very bias with little to no factual backing. The article refers to the justice system as "Biden's Justice Department" and accused them of hiding evidence that would make Biden look bad during the election. The author also claims that the white house knew Biden was mentally declining, but lied about it, even though there is little evidence of this. This article clearly sets up a liberals vs Trump narrative to stir up readers instead of just informing them of the situation without bias.

Hailing Syria, arming Saudis, dealing with Iran and Houthis, Trump relegates Israeli concerns

Why Troubling News:

"But the US president, as he is proving almost minute by minute in his current fast-paced Middle East trip, is an insistent deal-maker. And whether he’s still broadly empathetic to Netanyahu’s concerns or not particularly bothered by some of them, he’s moving ahead on a whole range of vital regional issues without including Israel on his regional itinerary, without arranging for an Israeli presence at his critical meetings, and without heeding Israeli concerns in an expanding number of his agreements" I find this part of the article a bit concerning. President Trump is a neutral mediator; he definitely has a bias towards some of the Middle Eastern rogue nations, but he is not weakening Israel's position; he is not a lobbyist for them. Also, he is giving Syria a chance for transparency and prosperity, as well as the other nations he has visited. If nations are economically stable, chances are there is peace... Isreal times is very nationalistic and should be read with a pinch of salt.

Doctors issue urgent warning over ingredient found in popular drinks that turbocharges CANCER

Why Troubling News:

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

Why Troubling News:

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

Why Troubling News:

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.
