Previous Troubling Reports

A viral post claimed that 32 armed Venezuelans took over an apartment building in Chicago, backed by an audio of a police dispatch call. However, the Chicago Police Department and local aldersperson Jeanette Taylor confirmed the incident was not real. The post, shared by Libs of TikTok and reshared by Elon Musk, gained over 21 million views but was debunked as misinformation. Meta flagged the post as part of its effort to combat false news.

This article includes personal attacks and major criticisms towards Harris. There is a lot of sarcastic and mocking like, "Kama, Kama, Kameleon...". It also has a lot of claims with no supporting evidence. For instance , it mentions some policy shifts that she had but does not give enough context as to why she did. Instead, the article makes it seem like she does not support a lot of important initiatives. Overall, it misleads the portrayal of her policy shifts and her as a politician.

For many reasons this article is deeply troubling and indicative of Reuters insane bias. The article claims that Harris was never appointed "border czar". Moreover, the title immediately puts doubt into the readers mind so at face value, it deceives the reader to make them think that she wasn't the border czar. Reuters goes on to say she was merely in charge of handling diplomacy with countries in the northern triangle which is in it of itself, an admission. It is a game of semantics further backed up multiple articles recently published ranging from the AP to The Hill. An excerpt from The Hill's article perfectly recounts the events of the Vice President. It writes, "When Biden put Harris in charge of the border in March 2021, he said she would be part of a “full team” that would “deal with the problem here at home” and “in terms of in-country.” He added that “it’s not her full responsibility and job, but she’s leading the effort." All recent articles from the NYT, Axios, and Reuters are being deliberately dishonest so as to shift blame from Vice President Harris's extraordinary fumble on the southern border. It is partisan reporting and downright shameful. To the uninformed voter who is being overwhelmed with recent articles they may believe Trump is lying when in fact he is telling the truth in this case.

The title of this article is very misleading, it aims to attach the blame of the economic downturn which they track in terms of layoffs on Kamala Harris. However, they did not provide any evidence throughout the article to prove that this is the case. They state the facts of the current employment figures, which is that layoffs are up around 1% compared to last August. The title of this article attaches Harris's name to the issue needlessly, which introduces bias.

It's ironic that the article at one point calls out Vice President Harris for adopting "some exaggerated caricature" when that's all the article attempts to do. The childish writing does little more than cherry pick certain details and tries to magnify them to paint Kamala Harris as a flaky incompetent who has nothing but contempt for both her job and the citizens of the United States. This is troubling because if fails to really explain why these behaviors are concerning to the writer and instead goes on a "think of the country" tirade based solely on angry accusations.

I think the article is troubling because it embraces a new rhetoric that has started since the DNC that Harris has no policies. I think saying such things is unfair considering the fact that as a party, the Democrats published a platform which means these are the policies Harris would establish if she was to become President. It is understandable that she has not been expansive when it comes to talking about her policy but she has mentioned initiatives for housing and how she would dictate foreign policy.

The left leaning bias against Donald Trump from this article are obvious, and perhaps not surprising given HuffPost's reputation. The article itself goes over an interview with Trump on Fox News where he attempts to defend himself from allegations of election interference. It specifically discusses a statement he made where he supposedly confessed to the crime, followed by tweets from various legal minds criticizing the former president's statement. What is possibly worrying about this article and any widespread coverage of allegations of election interference is that it has the potential of causing the American people to lose faith in elections in general and the power of the vote.

This article is so biased and just making assumptions without actually speaking to Harris or her father which is dangerous. The author jumps to lots of conclusions based on their own preconceived notions and doesn't take a balanced evidence based approach.

This news is troubling because the headline does not match the content of the article. It uses the Arlington cemetery controversy and only mentions it once. The article also dismissed the Utah Gov and Trump though the headline makes it sound like it is a positive article.

This article is misleading because it poses the superintendent as being pro-patriotism, and the school as being anti-patriotism. In reality, the school that asked the student to remove the flag has several reasons has to why flags are not allowed to be flown on trucks. Additionally, they also do fly flags on campus, but in appropriate locations. Particularly with high schoolers, the fear that something hanging on a car would become a distraction is valid and a serious consideration to make. The article tries to make it seem as though the school is against patriotism or celebrating America, but a further look into the situation shows that the issue is about safety and keeping the school clear of distraction.

This article is biased in its portrayal of Harris criticizing her throughout. It presents information that might mislead readers. For instance it over-exaggerates and also simplifies her policy changes without explaining the reasons behind them well. This could lead to a misunderstanding. It heavily includes criticisms from Trump and other Republicans. Overall, it has a negative tone ; it uses words like "backtracks", "political opportunism" which paints her in a negative way.
