Bias
(0%)
The article is biased against Trump and his supporters by using negative language such as 'engaged in insurrection' and 'unconstitutional'. The judge is described as an 'activist Democrat', implying that she was partisan and not impartial. The ruling creates uncertainty for the election, but does not mention any evidence or legal basis for her decision. The Trump campaign is portrayed as defiant and vindictive, while the other side is unnamed and unchallenged.
The judge said Mr. Trump had engaged in insurrection and was ineligible to appear on the ballot.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that an Illinois judge removed former President Trump from the state's ballot on Wednesday citing the 14th amendment insurrection clause. However, this statement is false as no such ruling was made by a judge in Illinois until after publication of this article.
The pending ruling in the Colorado case by the nation’s highest court could have broad implications for Trump's presidential candidacy nationwide.

The author of the article is Sareen Habeshian who has a history of bias against former President Trump. The author uses language that dehumanizes and demonizes Trump by calling him an insurrectionist and someone who gave aid or comfort to enemies of the US.

The arguments center on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states that no one should hold office in the U.S. if they have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the [U.S.].
The big picture: The ruling, which Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter immediately put on hold in anticipation of an appeal, comes as the Supreme Court weighs a similar argument in Colorado to keep the GOP presidential frontrunner off the ballot over his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Sareen Habeshian has a conflict of interest on the topics of '14th amendment', 'insurrection clause', and 'Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung'. This is because she works for Axios which is owned by Comcast. Comcast also owns NBCUniversal, which was sued in 2019 by a group of states led by California over its ownership of AT&T's HBO streaming service and other programming assets.
