- Kate was discharged from hospital on Jan. 29 after two weeks for her undisclosed condition, but palace officials have said she wished her personal medical information to remain private.
Accuracy
- The Princess of Wales had major planned abdominal surgery in January and has not been seen in public since then.
- `Celebrity Big Brothera aired on Monday evening featuring Gary Goldsmith, uncle of Princess Catherine
- Gary Goldsmith's appearance may provide a distraction for Britain's tabloid papers due to lack of news about the princess during her convalescence.
- lThe announcement was made on the U.K. Ministry of Defenseƒ website without consulting palace officials
- Britain's government announced that Kate, the Princess of Wales, will attend a Trooping the Color ceremony in June
Deception (30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that British newspapers reported the existence of paparazzi photos purportedly of Catherine but none published them. However, this statement is false as multiple news outlets have been found to publish such images.- Multiple news outlets have been found to publish such images.
- British newspapers reported the existence of paparazzi shots purportedly of Catherine
Fallacies (85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it states that the British Army had jumped the gun in announcing Catherine's participation in Trooping the Color. This statement implies that there was a definitive source of information and that this source should be trusted without question, which is not always true. Additionally, there are several instances where statements made by Mark Landler himself are presented as fact without any evidence to support them.- The British Army had jumped the gun in announcing Catherine's participation in Trooping the Color
- Mark Landler states that consumers of royal news were back where they started: in the dark about the princess, who had abdominal surgery in January and has not been seen during her lengthy convalescence
Bias (85%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'in a country where the health struggles of even public figures are generally viewed as out of bounds' which implies that there is a general view in UK society that it is not appropriate to discuss or report on someone's health, especially if they are public figures. This could be seen as an example of religious bias because many religions teach the importance of privacy and confidentiality. Additionally, the author mentions 'British newspapers reported the existence of paparazzi photos purportedly of Catherine', which implies that there is a monetary interest in reporting on these images, even if they are not published. This could be seen as an example of monetary bias because many news outlets rely on advertising revenue and may prioritize sensational or controversial stories over more mundane ones.- British newspapers reported the existence of paparazzi photos purportedly of Catherine
