Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Landon Barker has 'very minor Tourettes', but this contradicts their own statement later on where they say he has had it since preschool and that his tics are not easily controlled. This implies a more severe form of Tourette's syndrome than what was initially stated, which is deceptive. Secondly, the author uses quotes from other sources to support their claim about Landon Barker having Tourettes without disclosing these sources in the article itself. This violates one of the analysis rules and makes it difficult for readers to verify this information independently.

This creates a false impression that the information is factual and reliable, when in reality it may be based on personal observation or speculation.
