Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'hard landing' and 'injured', which creates a false sense of danger and urgency for readers. Secondly, the author quotes American Airlines stating that there was an issue upon landing but does not provide any specifics about what this issue was or how it affected the flight. This lack of transparency is deceptive as it allows readers to draw their own conclusions without all necessary information. Lastly, the article uses selective reporting by only mentioning the six people injured and not providing context for why they were injured or if there were any other incidents on board.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the use of the phrase 'hard landing' to describe an incident that resulted in minor injuries for six people is misleading and sensationalist. Secondly, the article implies that there was a problem with American Airlines Flight 271 upon landing when it states that 'the aircraft taxied under its own power'. However, this does not necessarily mean anything about the safety of the flight or any issues experienced by passengers during deplaning. Thirdly, while it is stated that an FAA statement and airline officials confirmed the incident, there are no quotes from either source provided in the article.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the statement 'Kahului Airport on Maui experienced chaos' is an exaggeration and not supported by any evidence presented in the article. Secondly, American Airlines states that flight attendants and a passenger were transported to a local hospital after landing but does not provide any information about their condition or if they required medical attention. This statement can be seen as misleading since it implies that the passengers needed immediate medical care when in fact they were later released from the hospital. Lastly, there is no mention of any other incidents at Kahului Airport which could have contributed to chaos.
