Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls Trump a ‘piece of s—‘ during liberal rally
This article is problematic on some levels. It does not provide equal representation on the topic. Sure, it gives Crockett's words in detail, but also provides quotes from two Republicans. This unequal representation makes it seem like Representative Crockett is a symbol of ideology in the Democratic Party. It also uses, while accurate, biased language when describing Crockett's words. Her words are described as "obscene" and her insults as "slams". Comparatively, Trump's response to Crockett had no descriptors. The article allows misinformation to spread. The article quotes White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, who claims that Crockett is "the Democrat[ic] Party's chief spokeswoman." Crockett holds no such position, and was not the only person at the event. (As a side note, the proper term is "Democratic Party," while "Democrat" is a slang term for a member of the party. "Democrat Party" is not a grammatically correct way of referring to the Democratic Party.)
