Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Prabowo Subianto has about 58 percent of the votes based on quick count ballots at samples of voting stations nationwide. However, this information is not accurate as there are significant discrepancies between these unofficial counts and the official results released by the election commission. Secondly, it quotes Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo stating that they have about 25 percent and 17 percent of votes respectively based on independent pollsters conducting quick count ballots at samples of voting stations nationwide. However, these numbers are also not accurate as the official results show a much closer margin between the candidates. Thirdly, it quotes Gibran Rakabuming Raka stating that they were investigating reports of electoral violations without providing any evidence to back up their claim.

Fallacies
(80%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing the election as a victory for all Indonesian people and urging them to respect the results. This is an appeal to authority because it implies that Prabowo's claim of victory should be accepted without question, even if there are legitimate concerns about electoral fraud. The article also contains examples of dichotomous depictions by describing Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo as trailing far behind Prabowo with only 25% and 17%, respectively. This creates a false sense of opposition between the two candidates, when in reality they are both part of the political establishment. The article also contains examples of appeals to authority by describing Jokowi's approval rating as about 80%. However, this is not an accurate representation of public opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Prabowo Subianto has won nearly 60% of the vote when unofficial results show he only won around 85%. This is a lie by omission as it fails to mention that these are unofficial results and not final counts. Secondly, the article quotes Anies Beswadan running second with fewer than 22% of the votes but does not provide any context or explanation for this low percentage. It also implies that Gibran Rakabuming Raka is in third place when he was actually in fourth place according to unofficial early counts. Thirdly, the article quotes Prabowo calling for supporters to calmly wait for the official vote to be declared by the country's election commission but does not mention that this call came after deadly riots broke out after a previous election in 2019 when Prabowo lost. Finally, the article presents Gibrano Rakabuming Raka as an ally of Joko Widodo despite his father being one of Suharto's closest advisors and allies during Indonesia's darkest period.

Fallacies
(80%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states that Prabowo Subianto is a former army general with a controversial past. The author does not provide any evidence or context for this statement, making it unclear what the controversy refers to. Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used by both Prabowo and his opponents during their speeches, such as when Prabowo declared that he would lead together with Gibran Rakabuming Raka to protect all Indonesian people regardless of background. This type of language can be seen as divisive and polarizing, potentially inciting violence or hatred among different groups in Indonesia.

The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that critics say Prabowo Subianto's presidency could jeopardise two decades of democratic progress without providing any evidence or quotes from these critics. Secondly, the author commits a false dilemma by presenting only two options: either Nvidia will continue to dominate the market for AI accelerator chips or a company about a third of its size will come for its crown. This oversimplifies the complexities of competition in this industry and ignores other factors that may influence market share. Lastly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that more people are tuning in to watch people get slapped without providing any context or evidence about the content being watched.
