Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Jaremy Smith has been linked to a South Carolina woman who was found dead without providing any evidence or information about the linkage. This statement implies that there is some sort of connection between Smith and the woman's death, which may not be true. Secondly, the article uses sensationalism by stating that Machado-Fore's body was found outside of Lake View in Dillon County without providing any context or information about what happened to her. This statement implies that there is some sort of connection between Machado-Fore and the murder of a New Mexico State Police officer, which may not be true. Lastly, the article uses selective reporting by only mentioning one detail from the investigation (the involvement of Machado-Fore's car in the murder) while ignoring other important details such as what led to Hare being shot or why he was responding to a call on Interstate 40.

The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that warrants have been issued for Smith in the murder of New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Hare without providing any evidence or context about these warrants. Secondly, there is a dichotomous depiction of Jaremy Smith as both a suspect and someone who has been linked to a South Carolina woman found dead, which creates confusion and potentially misleads readers. Lastly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Machado-Fore's body was found outside of Lake View in Dillon County without providing any context or evidence about what happened there.
The article states 'Warrants have been issued for Smith in the murder of New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Hare.' However, no evidence or context is provided about these warrants. This creates an appeal to authority fallacy as readers are expected to trust that the authorities know what they are doing without any information given.
The article states 'Jaremy Smith has been linked to a South Carolina woman who was found dead Friday,' which creates a dichotomous depiction of him as both a suspect and someone with ties to another person. This can confuse readers and potentially mislead them into thinking that there is more information about the case than what is actually provided.
The article states 'New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Hare was fatally shot after responding to a call early Friday on Interstate 40,' which uses inflammatory rhetoric as it implies that the trooper's death was directly related to his job and not just an unfortunate accident. This can create a negative impression of law enforcement and potentially mislead readers into thinking that there is more information about the case than what is actually provided.
