    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (85%)

    • ]In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion,
  • Bias (90%)
    The author makes no direct statements demonstrating bias towards any political party or ideology. However, the article does mention Trump's comments about a 'bloodbath' if he loses and Biden's response to those comments. The author does not express an opinion on these statements, but they could be perceived as having a political bias based on the context of the election. Therefore, I cannot give this article a score of 100.

      • In March in Ohio, Trump said 'it's going to be a bloodbath for the country'

      Joe Biden Grows Defiant, Apologizes for “Bullseye” Comment About Trump in NBC News Interview

      The Hollywood Reporter Kevin Dolak Tuesday, 16 July 2024 02:30
      • Unique Points
        • Joe Biden apologized for wanting to put former President Donald Trump in a 'bullseye' during an NBC News interview
        • Biden criticized Trump for his reaction to the Charlottesville incident in 2017 and questioned if one should remain silent about threats to democracy
      • Accuracy
        • President Joe Biden apologized for wanting to put former President Donald Trump in a ‘bullseye’ during an NBC News interview
        • Biden and Trump had a cordial conversation following the shooting incident at Trump’s rally
        • Republicans accused Biden of stoking violence against Trump after his ‘bullseye’ comment
      • Deception (30%)
        The author uses emotional manipulation by implying that Trump is inciting violence and stoking threats to democracy with his rhetoric. He also selectively reports information by only mentioning the violent incidents related to Trump and ignoring any instances of violence or threats made by Biden or his supporters. The author also makes a statement about J.D. Vance's past criticisms of Trump without disclosing that Vance has since endorsed him, which could be considered a lie by omission.
        • Biden asked Holt, then referring to Trump’s reaction while in the White House to the deadly alt-right Unite the Right incident in Charlottesville in 2017. ‘Do you just not say anything because it may incite somebody?'
        • The author's statement about J.D. Vance: 'J.D Vance has adopted the same policies... He signed on to the whole notion of whether or not we’re gonna – there’s he says there’s no climate change that’s happening.' The author fails to mention that Vance has since endorsed Biden.
        • The Republicans are now accusing the president of stoking violence against his rival following gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks’ attempt to kill Trump
      • Fallacies (90%)
        The author, Kevin Dolak, makes several statements in the article that contain informal fallacies. The first instance is an example of a hasty generalization when Biden is quoted as saying 'it's essentially a toss up race.' This statement is based on polling data and ignores other factors that could influence the outcome of the election. Another instance of an informal fallacy, ad hominem, occurs when Biden refers to Trump's vice presidential pick J.D. Vance as someone who 'signed on to the Trump agenda.' The author does not provide any evidence or reasoning for why this is a fallacy but implies that it is a negative thing. Lastly, there are several instances of loaded language used by the author, such as 'defiant,' 'dismal showing,' and 'bad night,' which could influence readers' perceptions of the events described in the article.
        • ]essentially a toss up race[
        • signed on to the Trump agenda
      • Bias (95%)
        The author, Kevin Dolak, demonstrates a clear political bias against former President Trump. He quotes Biden's criticism of Trump's rhetoric and the violent incidents surrounding him. The author also mentions Republicans accusing Biden of stoking violence against Trump following an attempted shooting at one of his rallies. Additionally, the author includes examples of Biden's negative comments about Trump during their debate and his vice presidential pick J.D. Vance's past criticisms of Trump.
        • Biden also swung at Trump’s vice presidential pick, junior Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, pointing out some negative things the new addition to the GOP ticket has said about Trump before he pivoted to supporting him during his Congressional bid.
          • Republicans are now accusing the president of stoking violence against his rival following gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks’ attempt to kill Trump, who was shot in the ear at a rally on Saturday.

          • Fallacies (90%)
            The article contains a few instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. President Biden is quoted using strong language when discussing former President Trump's rhetoric and actions, which can be seen as inflammatory. Additionally, there is an appeal to authority when President Biden criticizes the media for not reporting on Trump's lies.
            • I'm not the guy that said, I want to be a dictator on day one. I'm not the guy that refused to accept the outcome of the election. I'm not the guy who said they won't accept the outcome of this election automatically
            • You can't only love your country when you win. And so, the focus was on what he's saying and the idea.
            • I told him how concerned I was and wanted to make sure I knew how he was actually doing... He sounded good. He said he was fine and he thanked me for calling.
            • Why don't you guys ever talk about the 28 lies he told? Where are you on this? Why doesn't the press ever talk about that?
          • Bias (95%)
            The author, Jordan Freiman, demonstrates a clear political bias against former President Trump by highlighting his alleged dangerous rhetoric and focusing on negative aspects of his actions and statements. The author does not provide any counterbalancing information or perspective to present a fair and unbiased analysis.
            • Asked if he had done any ‘soul searching’ about his rhetoric, Mr. Biden said, ‘How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real, when a president says things like he says? Do you just not say anything, because it may incite somebody?’
              • Mr. Biden also criticized Trump for making light of the violent assault on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
                • Mr. Biden was also asked his opinion on Trump’s newly announced running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. ‘It’s not unusual. He’s gonna surround himself with people who agree completely with him’, Mr. Biden said, while also referencing Vance’s previous outspoken criticism of Trump.
