Deception
(30%)
The article provides a clear history of Jake Tapper's bias towards Trump and Republicans. While this is not deception in itself, the author uses this information to imply that Tapper's past coverage makes him an unsuitable moderator for the upcoming presidential debate. This is an example of selective reporting as it only presents details that support the author's position while omitting any counterarguments or context. The article also includes emotional manipulation through phrases like 'long national nightmare' and 'wanton disregard for human life'.
It has been a time where truth and fact were treated with distain.
It’s been a time of extreme divisions, many of the divisions caused and exacerbated by President Trump himself.
Even after the release of the Mueller report that failed to find evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, Tapper suggested Trump sounded like ‘the spokesman for the Kremlin’ over comments Trump made about his May 2019 conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several instances of Ad Hominem fallacies, where the authors attack the character or personal traits of Jake Tapper instead of addressing the substance of his reporting. For example, they mention his 'long history of anti-Trump commentary' and call him an 'anti-Trump voice in the liberal media.' This is irrelevant to whether or not Tapper's reporting contains logical fallacies. Additionally, there are several instances of Hasty Generalization when the authors make broad assumptions about Trump based on his past actions or statements. For example, they claim that Trump's comments about COVID testing 'continued to lie to the American people' and that he showed 'a wanton disregard for human life.' These statements are not supported by evidence in the article and are based on the authors' opinions.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains editorializing and pontification by the author, as well as emotional manipulation through the use of phrases like 'desperate measures' and 'panic in elite New York-D.C. circles'. The author also engages in selective reporting by focusing on negative polling numbers for Biden while ignoring Trump's own negative approval ratings. Additionally, the article makes several statements that are not factually supported, such as 'Biden is losing, so has no choice but to debate.' and 'Trump remains unpopular with a negative 10 percent RCP average approval rating'. These statements are not backed up by any evidence in the article and therefore constitute deception.
Any bad news or opinion served up by the Times is certain to rattle Democratic elites, but anything favorable to Trump is far, far worse.
Biden cannot take action to limit illegal immigration and has no answers on inflation.
It is quite astonishing how much Team Biden is frozen by loud, obnoxious voices in the New York-Washington media echo chamber.

Fallacies

The author commits an appeal to fear when stating that 'Biden is losing, so has no choice but to debate.' This is an attempt to manipulate the reader's emotions and create a sense of urgency. The author also engages in hyperbole when describing the New York Times-Siena poll as 'disastrous' and Biden's approval ratings as 'durably awful'. These statements are not objectively true, but rather an exaggeration to make the situation seem worse than it is.
