  • Deception (30%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Biden won the New Hampshire primary when he did not even register for it and therefore could not have won. Secondly, the author states that 'the results will not yield any nominating delegates' which contradicts what was stated earlier in the article about how write-in votes can influence delegate allocation. Thirdly, there is no mention of any deception by omission or bias present in this article.
    • The title implies that Biden won the New Hampshire primary when he did not even register for it and therefore could not have won.
  • Fallacies (70%)
    The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it states that the results of the New Hampshire primary will not yield any nominating delegates because Biden did not register for the primary. This statement implies that there is some sort of official rule or law stating this, but no such rule or law has been mentioned in the article.
    • The results of the New Hampshire primary will not yield any nominating delegates because Joe Biden did not register for the primary.
  • Bias (75%)
    The article contains a statement that suggests the Biden campaign is struggling to excite the Democratic base. This could be seen as an example of ideological bias because it implies that there are certain expectations for how Democrats should feel about Joe Biden and his campaign.

      • Deception (30%)
        The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Biden won New Hampshire's primary through a write-in effort after declining to campaign there. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that Biden was not actively involved in the election process at all when he actually had allies organizing hundreds of volunteers and spreading his name on ballots. Secondly, the article states that New Hampshire Democrats rebelled against a new plan to change the primary calendar and pushed ahead with their own primary despite being told by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that it would not award delegates for this violation. This statement is deceptive because it implies that Biden's victory in New Hampshire was solely due to his supporters organizing on their own, when in reality, the DNC had already decided not to count these votes towards the nomination process. Lastly, the article quotes Biden as saying that he wants to thank all those who wrote his name in and appeals for independent voters and anti-Trump Republicans to support him. However, this statement is deceptive because it implies that Biden's victory was solely due to write-in votes from these groups when in reality, the majority of New Hampshire Democrats voted against him.

      • Fallacies (85%)
        The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when Biden's victory in the primary essentially cements his grasp on the Democratic nomination for a second term. This statement implies that because he won, it must be true and ignores any potential challenges or opposition he may face. Additionally, there are inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article such as 'historical demonstration of commitment to our democratic process' which is an exaggeration and not supported by evidence.
