Deception (50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that American Airlines has ordered 260 new planes including Boeing Max 10s and Airbus A321neo aircraft. However, the actual number of orders for each type of plane are not provided in detail. The article only mentions that there will be a total of 85 Boeing Max 10 planes and 85 Airbus A321neo planes, but does not specify how many additional Embraer E175 or other types of aircraft were ordered. This is an example of selective reporting as the article only mentions the number of orders for two specific types of aircraft while ignoring others that are also part of the order.- The article states that American Airlines has ordered 85 Boeing Max 10 planes, but it does not provide any information on when these deliveries will start. This is an example of deceptive reporting as the reader is led to believe that the delivery date for these planes is known, but in reality there are no specifics provided.

Fallacies (70%)
The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that American Airlines has ordered hundreds of new planes and plans a bigger first class without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Secondly, the author commits a false dilemma by presenting only two options for American Airlines' fleet expansion: either they order more Boeing Max 10s or Airbus A321neo aircraft. This ignores other potential options and presents a limited view of the situation. Thirdly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that American Airlines isBias (80%)
The article contains multiple examples of bias. Firstly, the author uses language that dehumanizes white supremacists and extremist far-right ideologies by referring to them as 'dog whistling' and celebrating their reference to a racist conspiracy theory. Secondly, the author quotes an unnamed source who claims that American Airlines is planning bigger first class on its narrow-body planes, which implies that this decision was made solely for financial gain rather than catering to customer demand. Thirdly, the article uses language that demonizes Boeing and portrays them as struggling with production flaws and certifications of new planes despite not providing any evidence or context about these issues. Finally, the author quotes a statement from American Airlines' CFO Devon May that contradicts itself by stating that they do not want to be harmed financially through any aircraft orders while also acknowledging potential delays in Max 10 certification.- American Airlines' CFO Devon May quotes a statement that contradicts itself

Deception (50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that American Airlines has placed its largest aircraft order since 2011 and reflects the strength of demand for air travel. However, this statement is misleading as it does not provide any context or comparison to previous orders made by American Airlines. Secondly, the article states that Boeing's equal standing in the deal suggests that American remains confident in the manufacturer after a recent safety incident on a 737 Max plane. This statement is also deceptive as there is no evidence provided to support this claim and it implies that all previous incidents with Boeing planes have been resolved, which is not true. Lastly, the article quotes Devon May stating that American has faith in Boeing's ability to improve quality after a preliminary federal investigation suggested that the Alaska Airlines plane might have left Boeing's factory without bolts critical to securing the panel. This statement is deceptive as it implies that all previous incidents with Boeing planes will be resolved and there will be no further safety concerns, which is not true.- The article states that Boeing's equal standing in the deal suggests that American remains confident in the manufacturer after a recent safety incident on a 737 Max plane.

The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority when he states that American Airlines has placed its largest aircraft order since 2011 and reflects the strength of demand for air travel. This statement is not supported by any evidence or data provided in the article, making it a fallacy. Secondly, there are several instances where dichotomous depictions are used to describe Boeing's safety record after a recent incident on one of their planes. For example, when the author states that American Airlines has faith that Boeing will improve quality and continue to deliver safe products, he is creating an either/or situation between improving quality or not delivering safe products. This is a fallacy as it oversimplifies complex issues and ignores other factors at play. Lastly, there are several instances where inflammatory rhetoric is used in the article such as when the author states that American Airlines has placed its largest aircraft order since 2011 which signals their confidence in Boeing after a recent safety incident on a 737 Max plane. This statement creates an emotional response rather than providing objective information and analysis, making it a fallacy.- The airline’s largest aircraft order since 2011 reflects the strength of demand for air travel.
Bias (85%)
