Previous Troubling Reports

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.

The article focuses on President Trump's words from a Truth Social post, which spreads misinformation about the January 6th insurrection and the FBI encounters at the U.S. Capitol.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a great article, but the author snuck in many phrases that could be very bias. For example, “Subjecting green card applicants to ‘anti-Americanism’ screening”, The phrase “subjecting” suggests hostility or unfairness. Also, putting “anti-Americanism” in quotes without context makes the policy sound vague or absurd, which may tilt perception rather than neutrally explain what the screening entails. In addition, there is also some selective context and slight misinformation, such as, “Americans continue to see fewer benefits [from illegal immigration] and more risks, including crime.” This is presented as fact from the poll but lacks context: decades of crime data show immigrants (legal or not) commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans. Without that context, the poll responses risk reinforcing a misperception.

This news is troubling due to the many phrases included within the article that are not clear and include misinformation. For example, "Don't take Tylenol. Don't take it." This statement is very directive and ignores all medical guidance. It also states there is no downside to avoiding Tylenol which is very untrue. Tylenol is a fever reducer and pregnant woman who have a fever and do not address it, could increase miscarriage, birth defects, and other complications.

The headline of this article is misleading as statistics show that the vast minority of mass shootings have been committed by people who identify as transgender.

In this article the headline contains some misinformation because it is asserting that Tylenol causes autism, but if you actually read the article the authors writes that this has been proven wrong by various scientific studies and research.
