Previous Troubling Reports

This article contains slight misinformation and political biases. Harris accuses Trump of lying, vengeance, and broken promises which is not appropriate for political figures to be throwing around accusing others of lying, there is no proof. She’s shown as critical of fellow Democrats (Newsom, Shapiro, Biden) and partly at fault for her loss. She’s also given a platform to frame herself as reflective and responsible, for example, “the buck stopped with me”, which softens criticism.

This is a great article, but the author snuck in many phrases that could be very bias. For example, “Subjecting green card applicants to ‘anti-Americanism’ screening”, The phrase “subjecting” suggests hostility or unfairness. Also, putting “anti-Americanism” in quotes without context makes the policy sound vague or absurd, which may tilt perception rather than neutrally explain what the screening entails. In addition, there is also some selective context and slight misinformation, such as, “Americans continue to see fewer benefits [from illegal immigration] and more risks, including crime.” This is presented as fact from the poll but lacks context: decades of crime data show immigrants (legal or not) commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans. Without that context, the poll responses risk reinforcing a misperception.

This news is troubling due to the many phrases included within the article that are not clear and include misinformation. For example, "Don't take Tylenol. Don't take it." This statement is very directive and ignores all medical guidance. It also states there is no downside to avoiding Tylenol which is very untrue. Tylenol is a fever reducer and pregnant woman who have a fever and do not address it, could increase miscarriage, birth defects, and other complications.

The headline of this article is misleading as statistics show that the vast minority of mass shootings have been committed by people who identify as transgender.

In this article the headline contains some misinformation because it is asserting that Tylenol causes autism, but if you actually read the article the authors writes that this has been proven wrong by various scientific studies and research.

In this Breitbart article, Rep. Byron Donalds appears to tie the Charlie Kirk assassination to leftism. While this seems like a reasonable guess at first (someone opposite of Kirk's politics is more likely to be an assassin than someone aligned with him), a recent report by NBC News, citing federal investigators, stated there has not yet been a proven link between the shooter and left-wing groups. In fact, multiple reports highlight how right-wing extremism has been responsible for the majority of political deaths in recent years.

I do not believe that there is anything inherently "misinformation" within this article, but the bias seen within it may sway public perception into agreeing with them. One of the first quotes you see from author James Downie is, "1) he is unpopular; 2) neither he nor anyone around him has any plan to change point 1; 3) despite points 1 and 2, major corporations and institutions continue to bow before the man who would be king", which feels false as there are many people who actually do support President Trump. This is behavior similar that agrees with MSNBC's Somewhat Left bias, but it is still worth pointing out. This exclusion of opposite viewpoints is one that speaks to a high level of bias, and potential misinformation in the future if measures are not taken.

This is spreading misinformation because it is connecting things that don't have anything to do with each other, with no evidence that they are connected. The claim is that President Trump's disagreement with Cracker Barrel changing its logo was just a distraction for Republicans from President Trump's poor policies. However, this is simply not true, which makes the title of the article clickbait.

There is slight misinformation and biases within this article by Politico. First off the article claims Elon Musk was the "former leader" of a government department named DOGE, which is false. He has, however, been associated with a hypothetical "Department of Government Efficiency" concept is proposed by many political figures. In addition, the articles references people like Representative Pete Sessions and Elon Musk are used to lend a false credibility to the fictional premise.
