The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses emotional manipulation by stating that President Biden has been venting his frustration to campaign donors and calling Netanyahu an 'asshole'. This statement implies a personal bias against Netanyahu which could influence the reader's perception of the situation. Secondly, there is selective reporting as only one side of the story is presented - Israel's military tactics in Gaza are criticized while no mention is made of Hamas' actions that led to these tensions. Thirdly, science and health articles that imply or claim facts without linking to peer-reviewed studies which have not been retracted are present as there is no mention of any scientific evidence supporting the claims being made about Israel's military tactics in Gaza.

The article reports that President Biden has privately insulted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by calling him an 'a-----e' and a 'pain in my a--'. The author of the article, Jeffrey Clark, is known to be hostile to mainstream media and news outlets that publish biased reporting. He uses deceptive language such as quotation marks around words like 'extremist far-right ideologies' and 'wild conspiracy theories' to imply a negative association with Netanyahu's supporters. He also uses the phrase 'dog-whistling', which is a term often used by political opponents of Netanyahu to accuse him of appealing to extremists. The author does not provide any evidence for his claims and relies on anecdotal sources from verified accounts on X and Telegram. He also ignores the context of the cease-fire negotiations between Biden and Netanyahu, which were described by Netanyahu himself as 'clear and focused'. The author's bias is evident in his choice of words, tone, and selective use of information to portray Netanyahu negatively.
