The author, David Nir, provides a biased perspective on the news of recently-expelled congressman George Santos announcing he's running for Congress again. The expediency bias in the title, "Good luck getting on the ballot!" shows liberal bias because the author laughs at Santos's plans. The tone makes it clear that the author does not like Santos and the last line captures it perfectly, "Well, if there's one thing Santos is familiar with, it's failing to hold up under scrutiny." An unbiased article wouldn't have these opinions regarding Santos, the tone would be neutral, and diction would simply stick to the facts at hand. More

This article covers the events of the State of the Union in a very biased way. From the title alone you can see that the article is going to be clearly anti-Trump. They call him an "Orange Ape". Once you delve into the article, you can see that the author uses more of these names. They call Marjorie Taylor Greene "Marge Trailer Park Greene". Further down, the author describes the Republicans as a bunch of middle schoolers and the Speaker Mike Johnson as a little man. They also say that those who don't learn the lessons of history are called Republicans. This article is worrisome because rather than focusing on Biden's speech and his message, the text is focused on being anti-Republican. To better cover the president's speech, they could have describe the facts in a nonpartisan way without adding their opinions or calling certain politicians names. More

This is troubling news because the article makes it seem as though the gangs are simply going at war with one another and want the prime minister to step down. They fail to go into detail in regards to the decisions the prime minister has made and how most of those decisions are in favor of the US taking Haiti's natural resources. The article also fails to mention how the prime minister's term has run out and he needs to step down but refuses to. More importantly that the US wants the prime minister to remain even though they claim Haiti needs democracy but is insisting that a prime minister who's term is up to remain in control simply because he is passing the decisions that will benefit them and not Haiti. The lack of acknowledgment of this information is making it seem as though Haiti is at war with itself and not the corrupt government. More

This article is not heavily biased against the incumbent president but also is extremely vague in direction. This piece thrives on misinterpretation from the viewer as the writer is trying their best to connect President Biden to Hunter's business. Also, the main headline of this article (Jim Biden) is barely even discussed at all. The author makes it difficult to decipher who they are talking about and comes to rash conclusions like Hunter being friends with a Chinese spy chief with no evidence. More

The spread of fake news is, undoubtedly, one of the biggest issues the United States is facing with the upcoming (and recent) elections. The article is based on the presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's claim that the Democratic Party is attempting to replace Biden with former First Lady Michelle Obama. This argument is completely false and not based in reality, as there is no concrete evidence given to back up such big claims. More

In the article they make little to no mention of the role the US has played in the Israel-Palestine conflict, such as funding and supporting Israel as well as vetoing the cease-fire resolution at UN security council. The article also refers to the conflict as a war, but the attacks reported are mostly one-sided which has lead to other media sources to refer to this conflict as genocide against Palestine. The article mentions several times that people in Gaza are starving and living in very poor conditions, however it only mentions in passing the fact that Israel military are the ones actively blocking supplies and starving people in Gaza.

The whole article is written as If it was an opinion-based article, there are too many words that carry strong negative connotations, such as: "strong-arm approaches" or "democratic backsliding". The title itself suggests very biased view on the situation. The narrative is very one-sided, negative view on Bukele's administration. Counterarguments are missing as well as another perspective and viewpoint. Further, I noticed lack of evidence, but that also has something to do with the opinionated approach to the whole article. When a specific information is there, the source is missing. Oversimplificaction and lack of context are other issues of the article. More

This article provides a deeply partisan and one-sided account of the events currently occurring in Gaza. Firstly, you can clearly see from the title that the author is more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. They describe Israel's latest attack as a "horrific war crime". Regardless of what thinks about the events unfolding, it is clear what the author's opinion is from the start. Once you begin to read the article, the author's opinion becomes even more clear. He describes the current situation as a "slaughterhouse" and says that there is currently a "brutal dehumanization of an entire people". The article further goes on to partially blame the United States for the starvation of those in Gaza. The article is far from an impartial and well research recent events piece. Instead, it seeks to provide a clearly bias interpretation of what is currently happening in the region. This is extremely dangerous for such a controversial and heated topic. The events unfolding between Palestine and Israel have divided our world. This is why it is so important that both sides are given the chance to provide their side of the story. Independent journalism in such trying times is vital. More

This article, along with every other article Fox News covers on Joe and Hunter Biden is very biased. All of their claims are extremely objective with "evidence" or information that is completely false. Their lack of any evidence or credibility throughout the articles makes them very troubling. More

This is alarming to me because Fox News has fabricated an "anti-consumer crusade" to scare viewers and further polarize people on topics that were not previously polerized or perceived as issues. Fox News is essentially asserting that updating regulations on water usage and efficiency is in direct contrast with personal liberty and economic freedom. This is simply not true, and this would likely not be an issue had Fox News not made it an issue. This further adds to the negative sentiments Fox viewers have against liberals. This will make it harder to find middle ground on unrelated issues because these views will see Biden and liberals as completely crazy. It can be expected that a conservative network would advocate against regulation, but the way in which Fox News is attacking the Biden administration is that rather than providing counterfacts that prove these new water and electric saving measures are not advantageous, they are attacking Biden on a fabricated agenda, which is lazy and above all dangerous for democracy.

I found this to be very misleading. Fox News is elevating isolated events that do not reflect empirical data on crime within the United States. Fox News is using anecdotal stories to make the impression that illegal immigrants are a large contributing factor to crime within the United States. These emotional analyses are targeted at people who already hold anti-immigrant bias, making them extremely motivating for this sub-section of people. This translates into violence against legal and illegal immigrants, as well as a push for more far-right extremist policies and greater polarization.  More
