Previous Troubling Reports

This article talks about Trump's claims that it is the left that caused the killing of Charlie Kirk. Though NPR is not directly supporting this claim, it is important to note that the killer has not been caught, and motives are still unknown. Therefore, Trump is spreading misinformation by claiming that the left was being the assassination.

AP is doing the fact-checking for me, but I find it concerning that with the uptick of political violence in this country, people are spreading misinformation about it. With political violence, credible information is key to maintaining a sense of "security" and accuracy for constituents and politicians. The spreading of this false narrative is fueling the fire that is keeping political violence as volatile as it is right now by undermining the reality of what is happening. It confuses audiences from knowing what is correct and what is not.

I found this news troubling because the author suggests that physical conflict may be the only solution to political dispute. As the author puts it: "Sometimes solving problems requires the men running the country to put their money and meat hooks where their mouths are." There is no chance of constructive political discussion anymore; it's best for all of us to fight it out, according to the author.

While the article does provide factual information and primary sources, - from the judge who presided over the case - the writing is still incredibly opinionated. The article was not labeled under opinion, and it is easy to see that this article may be troubling if it is the first encounter a reader has with this situation. The writing contains quotes like "victory will not end Harvard's pain" and "there are still myriad ways that the government can inflict pain on the university", which speak to the author's left-leaning bias. Whenever the current government's actions are spoken of, they are done so negatively, and may be twisted to fit their narrative of what the government is doing is bad.

There is not explicitly any misinformation in this article but I would say that it is misleading because the responses that Justice Amy Coney Barrett gives insinuate that she has no bias when making decisions as a Supreme Court justice but her stances may prove otherwise when most of the time her voting aligns with the conservative agenda of the Republican Party.

Overall, this article is completely factual and has many sources cited, but there is some biases within the article. This article seems to report on the event factually, but there is some context and direct quotes and opinions from critics that give off a bias. For example, the uses of the phrase "reviving a more powerful name" could be seen as biased toward the change, while focusing on the "cost" or "distraction" of the change would indicate a more critical viewpoint.
