  • Deception (30%)
    The author uses emotional manipulation by describing Kim's week as 'really tough' and Khloe's comments as 'hurtful'. She also uses selective reporting by only mentioning the parts of the conversation that support her position and omitting context that would make Khloe's actions seem less malicious. For example, she does not mention that Kim asked Kris to wash Chicago's hair before school and then received a call from Khloe asking if she could help with it. The author also uses sensationalism by framing the disagreement as a 'new sister spat'.
    • I don’t know if condescending’s the word, but you’re very shaming.
    • Kim replied, ‘I know her hair looks s***ty, thank you for reminding me that I didn’t have the time to do her f**king hair one night before bed and f**king wash it.’

    • Khloe Kardashian on The Kardashians - Hulu ‘You were calling to not really ask me if you could do the hair, but to let me know that her hair wasn’t washed and it was gross.’
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by using strong language such as 'shaming', 'really tough week', and 'reverse mom shaming'. The author also makes a dichotomous depiction by portraying the sisters' actions as only two extreme options: either being an absent parent or a helicopter parent. However, there are no clear fallacies in the text as it mainly reports on the sisters' disagreement without making any false or invalid arguments.

The Bear Is Not a Good Show

Slate Jack Hamilton Thursday, 27 June 2024 18:15
  • Unique Points
    • The Bear is a television show on FX
    • The second season of The Bear was criticized for its gimmicky devices and lack of purpose compared to the first season
    • Critics and fans continued to shower the show with awards despite its decline in quality
    • The third season of The Bear has been criticized for its aimlessness, lack of character development, and excessive use of flashbacks and music cues
  • Accuracy
    • ]The Bear is a television show on FX[
    • The Bear premiered in 2022 and was praised for its sharp observations and stellar acting performances
  • Deception (15%)
    The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author expresses a strong negative opinion towards the show 'The Bear' and its third season, implying that it has declined in quality. He quotes extensively from previous reviews and criticisms of the show to support his argument, but fails to disclose that these are not his own assertions. This is an example of selective reporting as the author only reports details that support his position while ignoring any positive aspects or counterarguments. Additionally, the author uses emotional language and manipulation by describing how 'the absence of any substantive storytelling progress or character development' makes him feel and implying that viewers who continue to watch the show are failing it. This is an attempt to elicit an emotional response from readers and influence their perception of the show.
    • The latest season includes multiple versions of The Beat’s ‘Save It for Later’ (including one by Vedder, natch), John Cale’s ‘Big White Cloud’, and yet another appearance of R.E.M.’s ‘Strange Currencies.’ These are all good songs that I would never normally object to hearing, but it feels as if The Bear is piggybacking off other people’s art to distract from its own lack of substance.
    • The Bear cannot fail; The Bear can only be failed.
    • Even the show’s acting, once such a strength, now feels mostly lifeless and one-note
  • Fallacies (55%)
    The author commits the fallacy of Appeal to Authority when quoting Henry Kissinger's statement about celebrities. The statement is used to support the author's argument that people continue watching a show despite its decline in quality because they don't want to admit it. However, this does not directly relate to the quality of the show itself and is not a valid reason for finding no fallacies in the article.
    • The late war criminal Henry Kissinger is purported to have once said: ‘The nice thing about being a celebrity is that if you bore people, they think it’s their fault.’
  • Bias (15%)
    The author expresses a clear bias towards the decline in quality of the television show 'The Bear'. He repeatedly criticizes the second and third seasons for their lack of self-assuredness, gimmicky devices, and boring storylines. The author also implies that fans and critics are failing to acknowledge the show's decline by continuing to shower it with awards and praise.
    • But worst of all, The Bear got boring
      • In the absence of any substantive storytelling progress or character development...the show now exists as a sort of composite of mannerisms and affectations that it hopes its audience will mistake for good television.
        • The absence of well-drawn story or characters means that the show has to rely on gimmicky tricks to achieve any semblance of emotional payoff.
          • The Bear's second season was not nearly as good as the first
            • The latest season includes multiple versions of The Beat's ‘Save It for Later’ (including one by Vedder, natch), John Cale’s ‘Big White Cloud,’ and yet another appearance of R.E.M.’s ‘Strange Currencies.’ These are all good songs that I would never normally object to hearing, but it's long felt as if The Bear is piggybacking off other people’s art to distract from its own lack of substance.
              • The music cues, already overdone in the first season, became downright suffocating in the second

                • The Bear Season 3 premiered on Hulu with all episodes available for streaming.
                • Carmy's behavior becomes increasingly controlling and egomaniacal, leading to tension with his colleagues.
                • Several stand-alone flashbacks provide insight into the backgrounds of some characters, including Tina and Natalie.
              • Accuracy
                • The absence of a fixed destination allows for added texture to the monotony of restaurant life but also results in repetition and stunt casting.
              • Deception (30%)
                The article contains selective reporting as the author focuses on the negative aspects of Season 3 while glossing over its positive aspects. The title itself is sensationalizing by implying that Season 3 is a step down from previous seasons without providing any evidence to support this claim. Additionally, there are instances of emotional manipulation as the author uses language like 'heartening counterweight' and 'fallible' to elicit an emotional response from the reader.
                • At times, the absence of a uniting goal allows Storer and co-showrunner Joanna Calo to continue adding texture to the monotony of restaurant life.
                • The first to air after the series swept the comedy categories at this year’s Emmys, cementing its growth from breakout hit to incumbent juggernaut
                • Season 3 lacks a similar focus. The Beef has become The Bear; the obvious follow-up question is, what now?
                • But not all detours this season are as effective, and without a fixed destination, the main narrative itself can get bogged down with repetition and stunt casting before the season ends with most storylines unresolved.
              • Fallacies (80%)
                The article contains some instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric. The author makes several references to the success and acclaim of 'The Bear' series, implying that it is a juggernaut in the industry. This can be considered an appeal to authority as the author is using the reputation of the show to bolster her argument about its quality. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory language used to describe some aspects of restaurant life and Carmy's behavior, such as 'grinding stress on the constant verge of chaos' and 'controlling egomaniac'. These phrases are not necessary to make the points being made in the article and can be seen as an attempt to elicit an emotional response from readers.

                • controlling egomaniac
              • Bias (75%)
                The article by Alison Herman demonstrates a subtle bias towards criticizing the lack of focus and direction in 'The Bear' Season 3. The author uses language such as 'lacks a similar focus', 'absence of a uniting goal', and 'without a fixed destination'. These statements imply that the season is inferior to the previous one due to its lack of clear objectives. While it is valid for a critic to evaluate the merits of different seasons, this bias becomes apparent when the author also mentions that Season 3 'doesn't set [The Bear] up to put Carmy in perspective with necessary distance' and 'reproduces [Carmy's] faults'. These statements suggest a negative judgment towards the season without providing concrete evidence or analysis. The author also spends more time discussing the weaknesses of Season 3 compared to its strengths, further emphasizing this bias.

                        • Yet maintenance and longevity are less compelling incentives than crossing the finish line of construction.
