Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that Megan Thee Stallion's latest single addresses a horde of misogynistic ops on the internet who still insist on supporting Tory Lanez. This statement exaggerates and oversimplifies the situation, implying that all criticism against Megan is sexist when it may not be. Secondly, the author uses selective reporting by only mentioning criticisms lobbed at Megan without providing any context or balance. Thirdly, the author uses emotion manipulation by stating that active listeners will examine every multilayered diss for at least 48 hours and implying that this is a positive thing. Finally, the author uses science and health articles with unproven claims when they state that Megan's pussy is so famous it might get managed by Kris Jenner next.

> A follow-up to Cobra, her second release since going independent is a quick-spitted rundown of all the criticisms lobbed her way and a nasty rebuttal that will have active listeners examining every multilayered diss for at least the first 48 hours. <
> I love it when Meg got that battery in her back. The Che here could be a number of people. In the top three possibilities for me is her ex, Pardison Fontaine, whom she alluded to in Cobra as a stank-ass cheater who was getting sloppy top in the same bed they sleep in. <
> Make sure you didn't catch a stray. Photo: Megan Thee Stallion via YouTube <
> Right off the bat, Stalli’s letting us know that she’s about to wild out in the most hilarious way. Referencing Carey’s early-2000s beef with Eminem clues us in on how she’s about to use humor to body her foes. <
> Tory Lanez makes second on the list, but that tiny hairless fiend is in the clinker, so he’s not really an option here.

Definitely a light moment for Megan
