I found this news troubling because it downplays the seriousness of a decision like abortion. Regardless of your political views, deciding for an abortion is never a "happy" decision, let alone an easy one. More

This article (with an embedded podcast-style video) claims that former FBI director James Comey and other Democrats have been trying to subvert American democracy and threaten Republicans. This is clear misinformation because a) James Comey has not tried to subvert democracy and b) there is clearly no concerted Democrat effort to blackmail Republicans. More

This article discusses Trump's claim of autism linked to the usage of acetaminophen. The tone of this article is very critical towards Trump's comments and does not offer a neutral, fact-driven perspective, which makes it a type of misinformation. The beginning sentence of the article has almost a mocking tone, stating, "The president wants to stem rising autism rates even if it means pregnant women don’t treat their pain and delay their kids’ vaccinations." The article goes on to debunk the claim, and explain why many doctors and well known research centers do not agree with this, as there is not enough evidence to support the president's claim. However, the article's use of informal critiques of the president, such as "...Trump is sick of waiting for a solution," makes it too vague and untrustworthy to rely on as a informational article on this topic.

This article is troubling news for me because of the lack of unbiased writing within it. The article is very opinionated, and the author very clearly disagrees with everything Trump has said about the issue. The tone of this article also feels more like a blog post than an article written by a reporter of a rather large news source, which may dock points from its reliability. There are several sources - a lot from Trump's own truth social posts - and the occasional linked article. My issue with this is because of the heavy amounts of opinion within the article, which do not let the reader make up their own mind about it. Quotes like "along with some more of his weird rantings about Tylenol" and an unhinged, all-caps social media post from an out-of-touch billionaire" paint what he hs said in an incredibly negative light.

This article lacks substance, as its primary source is a Twitter/X source with no other comments or sources to back up what the author is saying. Additionally, this article is extremely biased to the right, while relying on President Trump's rhetoric to make a point against the Union rather than having any problem with the Union's actions directly.

While the assassination of political and public figure Charlie Kirk is still a contentious and emotionally heated topic for people on both sides of the political spectrum, this article clearly uses vast generalizations about the Democratic party -- most evidently in the headline. It is indeed true that some Democrats celebrated the assassination of their political opponent, Charlie Kirk, but to generalize the Democratic Party as "driving people to kill" in any capacity is unsubstantiated. The article goes on to strawman the Democratic Party by reducing their argument to "calling people Nazi's", and therefore ignoring and misrepresenting a large percentage of Democrats who can indeed express their opinions without ad hominem. Articles of this nature fuel the divide in this country and are not founded in truth and research, but instead in emotional outrage and ingroup thinking. More

There is a lot of bias language and misinformation within this article. For example, “Despite what you may have heard recently, and contrary to what US President Donald Trump apparently believes”, implying that President Trump is misinformed and sets a dismissive tine as an opening statement. In addition, the author identifies his statement as false that Cuba has no cases of autism, yet autism exists in Cuba, and the country does have programs to treat it. So here, the reporting is accurate. More

This article is not written neutrally at all for the public to read. The author frames President Trump very negatively. The author states that he “meandered from complaints” making the readers infer that he is disorganized and not doing his duties correctly. More

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. More
