This article is troubling news because of the highly charged and emotionally loaded language used throughout, which strongly shapes the reader's perception of Trump's actions and intentions. Words like "brute force", "retribution", "ravenous bids", "the agitator", and "global domination" suggest authoritarian behavior and expanionist ambitions, setting a dramatic and ominous tone for the article. The headline also frames Trump's presidency as aggressive and dangerous before the reader even engages with the content. All in all, the article demonstrates clear bias through its repeated use of emotionally charged language that frames Trump's actions in a consistantly negative and alarming way.

This article is troubling news because of two reasons. First, the article's sensationalized, clickbait headline frames the situation dramatically before readers even engage with the details--which can potentially influence readers' perception. Second, the emotionally charged language used within the article to report on what is happening in Minnesota create a sense of urgency and conflict rather than presenting the investigation in a netural, factual way. Some examples of these phrases include "confusion and chaos", "surge of federal agents", and "political vendetta". Overall, the language used emphasizes tension and controversy instead of focusing on straightforward reporting of the events in Minnesota.
The article tries to imply Trump floated the idea of capturing Putin, when the video provided shows Trump said he didn't think that would ever be necessary. That may not be an explicit, clear-as-day "no I would never do that," but it's enough where we shouldn't be publishing articles implying he would ever actually do that.
This article cheerleads the current state of the US economy. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate has risen, 2025 was the slowest non-recession year for job growth since the early 2000s, and a significant majority of Americans feel that the economy is in poor shape.
I think the title of this article speaks for itself.
