Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Christina Applegate wore a red velvet dress by Christian Siriano to the Emmy Awards when it was actually a cranberry velvet gown. Secondly, the author quotes Kevin Winter/Getty as saying 'Let me tell you MS is a nasty disease and this beauty is so strong and just inspiring' which implies that Applegate has overcome her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) when in fact she still carries a cane due to it. Lastly, the author quotes Siriano on Instagram as saying 'We don't have to applaud every time I do something.' which contradicts the article's title and body text that praise Applegate for her return to the Emmy Awards.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by quoting Siriano's Instagram posts about Applegate's dress and praising her strength and determination in the face of MS. This is a form of halo effect where the positive attributes of one thing (Applegate) are transferred onto another thing (Siriano). The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by quoting Applegate saying, 'Body not by Ozempic!' which implies that she has been using medication to improve her appearance and is now refusing it. This statement could be seen as a form of false equivalence where the use of medication for medical purposes is being compared to cosmetic enhancements. The author also uses dichotomous depiction by describing Applegate's red velvet dress as 'divine' while simultaneously criticizing her decision not to return to work on-screen due to her physical limitations, implying that these two things are mutually exclusive.
The author quotes Siriano praising Applegate and calling her strong and inspiring. This is an appeal to authority fallacy as the author uses Siriano's opinion as evidence of Applegate's strength.

Bias
(85%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'Body Not by Ozempic' to make a reference to their own experience with MS medication, which is not relevant to the topic at hand. Additionally, there are multiple mentions of designer Christian Siriano who has been praised for his work on Applegate's red velvet dress and shoes. This could be seen as an example of monetary bias as Siriano may have a financial interest in promoting his own brand.
