The article is deceptive in that it implies the couple's divorce was due to distance when they had previously stated they were committed to making it work. The author also quotes both parties as saying their love for each other has not changed and that being in the public eye did not contribute to their split, which contradicts previous statements made by Turner about his dating past.
The article states that distance was a problem despite the couple's claims of commitment. However, it is later revealed that they had planned to move in together and both looked for homes in South Carolina. This implies that their decision to live apart was not due to distance but rather other factors.
Turner quotes Nist as saying 'We look at these conversations and we both think it's best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.' However, this contradicts previous statements made by Turner about his love for Nist. This is an example of deceptive phrasing.

The article contains an example of a false dilemma fallacy. The author presents the reader with two options: either Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's marriage is successful or it is not. However, this oversimplifies the complexities of their relationship and ignores other factors that may be at play.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses a derogatory and ageist tone when mocking Gerry Turner's divorce by saying 'old people can be just as stupid'. This statement is not only offensive but also irrelevant to the topic at hand. Secondly, the author quotes Carson Daly stating that Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist have split after three months of marriage, which implies that they were married for a short time when in fact they tied the knot on January 4th. This is misleading as it suggests their relationship was not long-lasting or serious. Thirdly, the author uses sarcasm to mock Turner and Nist's decision to divorce by saying 'It just goes to show that old people can be just as stupid!'. This statement is again offensive and irrelevant, making light of a sensitive situation. Lastly, the article does not disclose any sources or provide any evidence supporting its claims.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author misrepresents the couple's decision to live apart as a mutual conclusion that it was best for them and their families. In reality, they had already decided not to move in together after looking at homes in South Carolina and New Jersey. Secondly, the article presents Turner's past relationships with women who died before him as an issue of defining whether one is in a relationship or not, which is misleading since it implies that he was innocent of any wrongdoing. Finally, the author fails to disclose sources for their information about Turner's work history and his past relationships.
