Deception
(90%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses a quote from Trump to make it seem like he has attacked all Jewish people who vote for Democrats when in fact he only said that those who do so 'hate their religion'. This is an example of selective reporting and sensationalism as the article portrays this statement as if it were a direct attack on all Jews. Secondly, the author uses quotes from several Democratic politicians to make it seem like they are united in condemning Trump's comments when in fact there are differing opinions among them. This is an example of omission by deception as the article does not disclose that some Democrats do not agree with their colleagues' statements. Lastly, the author uses quotes from a former White House aide to make it seem like Trump has landed in hot water before for attacks on Jewish Democrats when in fact this person was only quoted once and there is no evidence of any previous incidents. This is an example of bias as the article presents this information as if it were true without providing any context or evidence.
