This is troubling news for me because the article is very open to interpretation on what is a serious, and historically divisive issue. Hearing Donald Trump say something like this could be cause for worry following the events of Jan. 6th. That said, in this particular clip, Trump clearly tells the audience to vote and then that they won't have to worry about it for four more years. While Donald Trump has said plenty of questionable things in the past, it is important for headlines to not stroke the flames for people who already strongly dislike him because it could cause greater societal tension.

The reason why this article is troubling is because Trump's claims are amplified without proper possible context. Many of the claims he makes are based in speculation and assumption rather than proper fact and context. The article does offer some resistance as it says that Trump does not have sources for his claims. However, the article continues to include quotes from his social media posts that attack VP Harris. Of his quotes, including those that attack possible Jewish voters for Harris are not appropriate and can be considered degrading. There is never an attempt to explain why Harris possibly did not attend Netanyahu's speech which further paints her as seemingly anti-Israel and showing a conservative bias. More

The use of the word "coup" already shows a strong bias against the Democratic Party, with the article implying that a group of Democratic Party elites staged a "bloodless coup" against their own president. This is already blatantly false, examples of actually coups can be seen from Myanmar to Niger. The overall has a sarcastic and mocking tone both to Joe Biden and the party as a hole, with the author even comparing Jill Biden to Lady Macbeth. Another exaggeration the author makes is towards the beginning where he claims that Biden stepping out of the race and being replaced as candidate is "one of the most astonishing political developments of my lifetime." Yes Biden stepping out is big and unprecedented, but "most astonishing" seems quite bold, especially considering that in the author's lifetime (I checked) there were much larger events like the fall of the Soviet Union, the 9/11 attacks and the War on Terror.

This article is troubling for me as I feel it does not give Kamala Harris a fair portrayal at all following Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential election. Not to mention, by likening decisions among the Democratic party to gymnastic routines, it is downplaying the importance of what is really at hand. The article makes many baseless claims to downplay her accomplishments as a member of the Democratic party and as vice president. Author Matthew Continetti snuggly writes, "She has no political base, no signature issue, is not part of a movement, and is best know for her word salads and very online fans." This, among many other quotes are troubling because the author is trying to belittle her as a presidential candidate and say falsities such as she has no political base, just because he may not agree with her views.

This article is very biased and has a bit of a sarcastic and negative approach. For instance, it says "If it was a shock to you when you found out that Biden dropped out, imagine what a shock it will be to Biden when he finds out that he dropped out." Insinuating that President Biden has no idea of what is going on. The author repeats this sentiment by saying that the President does not use his twitter or maybe is not even able to use it. This idea has no fact supporting it and clearly shows this is the author's opinion. It is also a negative approach when the author mentioned Trump's (R) assassination attempt and compared it to a "third-world status". Cases like this might have been seen throughout the years in third-world countries, but this statement has a cynical tone. More

This article is biased for its use of subjective and loaded terms such as "third-world status" and "holed up." It is evident that the author has bias against Biden and his decision to drop out based on the use of these terms and overall accusatory and negative tone. The article also does not include sources to back up its fact reporting, such as Biden not being able to use his own Twitter account or that he himself did not know he dropped out. Although this is an opinion article, the author is still obligated to provide facts and reliable sources to support their reasoning and biases, which the author has not done. More

Nowhere in this article is it stated that this is an opinion piece. Yet, the entire writing style---from title to phrases of "his heroic war record" treats this as an op-ed. The article is clear in taking Kamala's side "Vice-President Kamala Harris has been thrust into the harshest spotlight imaginable as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee" and takes no care to talk about JD Vance, Biden, Trump, or anyone else. Instead of being an analysis piece on her chance of success, policy stances, etc, it is a discussion of the "harshest" criticism she faces. More

This article contains a substantial liberal bias, the author describes the republican party as "hapless", along with other similar adjectives leading to an overall negative sentiment towards conservatives. The article's goal does not seem to be to provide information or opinion in a neutral format but rather to describe how Republicans are subpar. The title alone contains bias and paints an early narrative of incompetency. More
