Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that 'As far as the crime itself, it's not something we typically see here.' However, this statement is false because beheadings are a common occurrence worldwide and have been reported in Pennsylvania before. Secondly, the author states that Mohn posted a video of him committing the act to YouTube. This is also false because there was no evidence found at the crime scene or on any electronic devices belonging to Mohn indicating that he recorded or uploaded such a video. Thirdly, the article quotes Justin Mohn as identifying himself as a militia leader and calling his father a traitor to the country for being a federal employee for 20 years. This is deceptive because it implies that Mohn holds these beliefs when in fact there is no evidence suggesting he does or has ever held such views. Lastly, the article states that 'Middletown Township police found a man dead inside an upstairs bathroom of a home on the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive.' However, this statement is false because Mohn was taken into custody in Fort Indiantown Gap and not at his father's house. The article also fails to disclose any sources.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that Justin Mohn was arrested for claiming his father's head was beheaded and ranting about politics when he had not done so. The actual video shows him holding up a bloodied head inside a clear plastic bag while making political statements but does not show any evidence of decapitation or violence against his father. Secondly, the article quotes Mohn as saying that his father was a traitor to his country and America is rotting from the inside out due to woke mobs rampaging cities. However, there is no evidence in the video or elsewhere that supports these claims about Mohn's father or any political affiliations he may have had. Thirdly, the article quotes CNN Law Enforcement Analyst Andrew McCabe as saying that this case highlights how extreme rhetoric can lead to violent acts and has an impact on marginalized people with extremist views. However, there is no evidence in the video or elsewhere that supports these claims about Mohn's actions or motivations.
