  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive because it does not accurately report the facts and intentions of Lizzo's Instagram post. The author uses emotional manipulation by implying that Lizzo was suicidal or planning to quit music when she only meant to quit giving negative energy attention. The author also omits important details about the legal battle with her backup dancers, which is a significant factor in Lizzo's statement. Additionally, the author uses biased language by calling the dancers' attorney's statement 'outrageous', while not providing any counter-evidence or balance to their claims. The article also does not disclose that it is from The Daily Beast, which has a reputation of being hostile to mainstream media and news outlets.
    • In no way, shape or form am I the only person who has experienced that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive,” she continued. “If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves, and say they quit letting negative people win, negative comments win, then I’ve done even more than I could have hoped for.
    • Lizzo's been in a legal battle with her backup dancers since last August, as three of the dancers alleged in a lawsuit that she fat-shamed and sexually harassed them. The singer denied the allegations with a statement to Instagram at the time, calling them “outrageous,” but in February, the California Supreme Court denied her motion to have the case dismissed.
    • Lizzo took to Instagram again on Tuesday to say she didn’t mean for her “I quit” post to sound like she was quitting music. She says she meant that she would quit “giving any negative energy attention.”
    • Lizzo thought it was “about damn time” to address the ambiguous message she posted to Instagram over the weekend. In the post, the singer posted that she’s “tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want to do is make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it,” adding. “But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it” and “I quit.”

    The author uses the phrase 'about damn time' to suggest that Lizzo is quitting music. This implies a negative connotation towards her decision and suggests that she may be leaving the industry. However, this interpretation contradicts what Lizzo has stated in her post which was about being tired of putting up with negativity from everyone around her.

              The article contains an example of a false dilemma fallacy. The author presents Lizzo's statement as if it is either 'quitting music' or 'giving any negative energy attention'. However, the two are not mutually exclusive and can coexist. Additionally, there is also an appeal to authority fallacy present in the article where celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Seth Green and Loni Love share their support for Lizzo.

              The author has a clear bias towards Lizzo and her music. The article is written in an admiring tone and the author frequently uses phrases such as 'Lizzo's statement was in response to', which implies that the singer is being wronged by negative comments online. Additionally, there are multiple instances where the author quotes Lizzo directly without providing any context or analysis of her statements.

                      • Deception (50%)
                        The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article suggests that Lizzo has quit music entirely when she only announced a temporary hiatus on Instagram. Secondly, the author quotes Lizzo saying that she feels like 'the world doesn't want me in it,' which implies that her success and popularity are not genuine or appreciated by society. However, this statement is contradicted later in the article where it mentions how many people have shown support for her online. Lastly, there is no evidence to suggest that Lizzo has been 'dragged' on social media or had negative comments about her character made without context.

                        The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by citing Lizzo's Grammy Award and her success in the music industry. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing how Lizzo has been criticized online for her appearance and character. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of the world as not wanting Lizzo in it versus supporting her.

                        The author uses quotes from Lizzo's Instagram post to present her as a victim of online criticism. The language used in the article is also biased towards Lizzo and presents her as an innocent figure who only wants to make music and help people.
