Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that 'a deadly plane crash near Tahoe Truckee Airport claimed two lives on Saturday night during a snowstorm in the Sierra'. This statement is misleading as it implies that there were no other deaths or injuries from this incident which is not true according to the article. Secondly, selective reporting can be seen when only one quote from an interview with a witness who saw 'a small plane' flying over their house at 10:30 pm before crashing is provided. This does not give readers any other perspectives or information about what happened leading up to the crash. Lastly, there are no links to peer-reviewed studies that support the claims made in this article.
