Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive because it omits important details that would provide context and balance to the story. For example, it does not mention what led to the suspect trespassing onto the property or whether he had a history of violence or mental illness. It also does not report any statements from his family or friends that could shed light on his motives. The article implies that Hernandez was simply responding to a routine call when he was stabbed, without acknowledging the potential danger and unpredictability of such situations. Furthermore, it uses emotive language like 'fatally' and 'died from his injuries' to tug at the readers' heartstrings, without providing any nuance or perspective on the incident. The article also does not disclose that Hernandez was shot by a witness who intervened in the situation, which could raise questions about whether he posed an imminent threat or if excessive force was used. By omitting these details and using sensationalism, the article manipulates the readers' emotions and opinions without giving them all the facts.
The investigation is in its preliminary stages, but police believe Hernandez was stabbed by the suspect who allegedly trespassed onto the property. - This is a lie by omission because it does not explain why or how the suspect allegedly trespassed onto the property, which could be relevant to understanding his actions and motives. It also implies that there is no doubt about Hernandez's death being caused by the stabbing, without acknowledging that he was later shot by a witness.
A New Mexico police officer was fatally stabbed on Sunday after responding to a report of trespassing. - This is an example of deception by omission because it does not mention the role of the witness who shot Hernandez, which could be seen as a mitigating or aggravating factor in his death. It also uses the word 'fatally' without qualifying that this was caused by being shot, rather than stabbed.
The suspect has been identified only as a 29-year-old man. Police said his name will not be released until his next of kin have been notified.
Hernandez was transported to MountainView Regional Medical Center, where he died from his injuries. - This is another lie by omission because it does not specify what kind of injuries Hernandez suffered or how they were inflicted. It also uses the phrase 'died from his injuries' without clarifying that this was a result of being shot by a witness, which could imply that he succumbed to blood loss or infection.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that police believe Hernandez was stabbed by the suspect who allegedly trespassed onto the property without providing any evidence or quotes from authorities to support this claim. Secondly, there is a dichotomous depiction of Jonah Hernandez as both a hero and victim in one sentence: 'A New Mexico police officer died Sunday after being stabbed while responding to a report of trespassing.' This creates confusion for the reader and can be seen as an inflammatory rhetorical device. Lastly, there is no evidence provided to support the claim that Hernandez was shot and killed by a witness who observed at least part of the interaction between Hernandez and the alleged trespasser.
