Deception
(30%)
The author makes several statements that are not deceptive but do employ editorializing and sensationalism. The author compares Ingrid Andress' performance of the National Anthem to those of Roseanne Barr and Fergie, implying that Andress' performance was worse than theirs. The author also uses the phrase 'not impressed' to describe the reaction of people to Andress' performance, which is an emotional manipulation intended to elicit a negative response from readers. Additionally, the author makes several comparisons between Andress and other artists, such as Charli XCX and Camila Cabello, without providing any context or evidence to support these comparisons. This selective reporting of information serves to further sensationalize the article.
The day after, Andress addressed the performance herself.
Andress may have irked people with her cursive-style singing and lack of support on some of those big flourishes.
But here’s the tea: In a recent interview promoting brat, Charli XCX said, ‘I drink and I smoke and I use AutoTune.’ Charli has been using AutoTune live for years, and there’s no shame in that.

However, there are a few instances where the author makes comparisons to other controversial national anthem performances which could be seen as an appeal to authority or a dichotomous depiction of good and bad performances.

In the pantheon of controversial renditions of the national anthem at sporting events, Roseanne Barr’s performance at a 1990 San Diego Padres game and Fergie’s at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game resulted in similarly negative reactions.[/
