    The article contains some instances of informal fallacies, specifically an appeal to novelty and a hasty generalization. The author describes Hailey Welch as 'arguably the most famous girl on the internet' and 'America's Sweetheart' based on her viral video, without providing sufficient evidence that this is true for everyone or even most people. Additionally, there are several statements made about Welch that are not supported by evidence in the article, such as her quitting her job at the spring factory and the rumors about her getting fired from a teaching job.

    The author, Jonathan Bernstein, demonstrates a clear bias towards the men who filmed 'Hawk Tuah Girl' by focusing on their lack of recognition and financial gain compared to Hailey Welch. He quotes the men expressing their frustration and bewilderment at not receiving attention or financial rewards for filming and editing the video that made Hailey Welch famous. The author also implies that there are complex racial and gender dynamics at play, but does not provide any evidence or context to support this claim.
    • At the end of the day, nobody would know who she was if we didn’t bring it to light and post it.
      • It’s mostly just jokes. We’re not pressuring nobody or nothing – we’re just capturing the vibe. That’s what we do best.
        • People were treating it like we’re nobodies and didn’t already have a platform.

          The article is deceptive in the way it presents the story of Tim Dickerson and DeArius Marlow, the creators of Tim and Dee TV and the 'Hawk Tuah Girl'. The author Owen Lavine focuses only on their dissatisfaction with Hailey Welch's rising fame while ignoring their own role in her popularity. There is also an attempt to create sympathy for them by implying that they are being unfairly overshadowed, despite having significantly less following and professional management than Welch. The author does not disclose any sources, making it difficult to verify the claims made in the article.
