  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the statements of law enforcement officials without providing any evidence or context for their claims.

    • <strong>False Dilemma:</strong> The author commits a false dilemma by presenting only two options: either Smith is innocent and was wrongly accused, or he is guilty and should be punished severely. This oversimplifies a complex situation and ignores other possible explanations.
  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains a clear example of religious bias. The author uses the phrase 'South Carolina paramedic' to describe Phonesia Machado-Fore, which implies that she is not from New Mexico and therefore has no connection to the state or its people. This creates an unfair comparison between her and Justin Hare, who was killed while trying to help a driver in need on Interstate 40. The author also uses the phrase 'person of interest' when describing Jaremy Smith, which implies that he is not guilty until proven innocent.
