Fallacies
(85%)
There are a few logical fallacies present in this article. The first is an appeal to emotion when the author states 'Blanchard, who went to prison for conspiring with her then-boyfriend to kill her mother, shared the news that she is expecting her first child with Ken Urker in a YouTube video on Tuesday titled ‘I’m Pregnant, My Journey So Far.’' This statement attempts to elicit an emotional response from the reader and distract from the fact that Blanchard is a convicted murderer. The second fallacy is hasty generalization when the author states 'Gypsy Rose Blanchardis free from prison. Now she’s everywhere.' This statement implies that because Blanchard has been in the news recently, she must be involved in some sort of wrongdoing or scandal. The third fallacy is false dilemma when the author states 'Blanchard served eight years in prison for her role in the fatal stabbing of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, who allegedly suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy and made Blanchard seem to have various health issues.' This statement implies that either Blanchard is guilty of murder or her mother was suffering from a mental illness, when in reality the situation is much more complex.

No formal fallacies found. The article does not contain any inflammatory rhetoric or appeals to authority. There are no examples of dichotomous depictions in the text. However, there is an example of a potentially misleading statement: 'Blanchard is believed to have been a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychological disorder in which a caretaker makes someone ill or creates the illusion of them being ill in order to receive attention.', as it does not clarify that Blanchard was convicted for her role in the murder of her mother, who had Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The author also reports on statements made by Gypsy Rose without indicating they are her opinions rather than facts.
