This article is troubling because it is extremely biased and does not adhere to specific facts. The author makes their negative stance on Trump clearly known, and simultaneously seeks to undermine President Biden. A particularly subjective quote about Biden reads: “And so there was a distinct cruelty to it all, the spectacle of a man of eighty-one, struggling terribly with memory, syntax, nerves, and fragility, his visage slack with the dawning sense that his mind was letting him down and that, as a result, he was letting the country down.” Remnick continues, “This was an event that, if unremedied, could bring the country closer to another Trump Presidency and with it a diminishment of liberal democracy.” Regardless of one’s opinion on either man, the article is problematic because of its complete lack of factual evidence. The argument for Biden’s competency, or even Trump’s, should be supported by outside facts. More

This article is troubling for showing clear bias against Biden's performance in the debate and providing multiple uncited sources throughout the story. The author displays a clear desire to see Biden resign from the presidential race rather than soley focusing on their sources' opinions. Additionally, many of these sources remain unamed, putting the credibility of the story into question. Lastly, the author also displays bias against sources who countered the author's perspective.

This article is troubling because it has a provocative headline that would draw in people that do not like Trump, but is a bit heavy to read and fails to regard some of the intricacies in this SCOTUS ruling. Given the magnitude of this decision, it is important that people can pretty easily understand what has happened and what is at the heart of this case. Ultimately, the article is troubling because it discusses a very heavy topic, uses an article that draws in readers, but is a bit complicated to read and doesn't provide full context on the topic.

The bias is evident in the language, selective evidence, personal attacks, speculative claims, and lack of nuance. The assertion that the media is collectively engaging in a cover-up and is now switching narratives to facilitate Biden’s removal is speculative and lacks concrete evidence. Such conspiracy theories appeal to existing biases without providing verifiable proof. Also by framing the media's coverage of Biden as a coordinated effort to mislead the public, the article fuels distrust between opposing political groups, exacerbating the political polarisation seen in government.
