Bias
(75%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'dressing room dispute' to frame Kelly Rowland as a victim who was wronged by NBC News for not liking her dressing room. This is an example of religious bias because it implies that Rowland has some sort of divine right to have a nice dressing room, which is not true. Additionally, the article mentions that Rita Ora stepped in at the last minute and had fun doing so.

This is an example of monetary bias because it implies that Rowland has more value or importance than Ora due to her fame and popularity, which may be influenced by the amount of money she earns from endorsements and other commercial ventures.
