President Joe Biden commemorated January 6 as a day of American infamy, marking the third anniversary of the 2021 insurrection with a call for Americans to join him in defending US democracy from former President Donald Trump.
Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses emotional manipulation by stating that January 6th was a day of American infamy and that Trump's actions are an attack on democracy. This statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and it implies that Trump's actions were equivalent to Hitler's language, which is false. Secondly, the author uses selective reporting by only mentioning some of the outrageous claims made by Trump without providing context or counterarguments from other sources. Thirdly, the author uses a litany of sensationalist statements such as 'Trump did nothing', and 'We all know who Donald Trump is' which are not supported by any evidence presented in the article. Lastly, the author uses science and health articles that imply facts without linking to peer-reviewed studies which have not been retracted.
Trump still faces criminal prosecution by special counsel Jack Smith for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
► Trump will also have to contend with the undeniable fact that questions about his prosecution will ultimately be answered by a Supreme Court that has a solid conservative majority and to which he appointed a third of the justices.►
► Rather than being expunged by Republicans, Trump is now the front-runner to be their presidential nominee for a third straight time.►
► Rather than buy into facts presented in courts and by the House select committee that investigated January 6, a third of Republicans and a quarter of all Americans believe the unfounded conspiracy theory that the FBI had something to do with coordinating the insurrection,►
Rather than move away from election denialism, most Republicans have embraced amnesia. The still-new House speaker, Mike Johnson, was one of the coordinators of efforts in the House to challenge the 2020 election results.
The statement “Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time,” implies that Trump's actions are an attack on democracy, which is not supported by any evidence presented in the article.
Fallacies
(75%)
The article by Zachary Wolf contains several logical fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when the author cites President Biden's comparison of former President Trump's language to that of Adolf Hitler and antidemocratic actions of dictators as evidence of a threat to democracy. This is a fallacy because it relies on the authority of the president rather than providing concrete evidence or logical reasoning. The second fallacy is dichotomous depiction when the author frames the issue as a choice between defending democracy and validating Trump's position, ignoring other possible options or nuances in the situation.
Biden said of Trump, ‘What a sick–’
He rattled off a litany of Trump’s more outrageous claims and comments, drawing analogies to the language of Adolf Hitler and the antidemocratic actions of dictators.

The article contains a clear example of political bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Trump supporters and portrays them as violent insurgents rather than patriots. This is evident in the statement 'More than 100 police officers were bloodied, beaten and attacked by the rioters who overwhelmed authorities to break into the building.' The use of words like 'bloodied', 'beaten' and 'attacked' creates a negative image of Trump supporters that is not supported by factual evidence. Additionally, the author uses language that demonizes Trump for his role in inciting violence, such as calling him a mob leader who overran the building while lawmakers were counting Electoral College votes.
