The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position of unity among Republicans and Trump's endorsement by Haley. It also uses emotional manipulation by stating 'after a failed assassination attempt on Trump at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday,' to elicit an emotional response from readers. The article does not disclose sources.
But the initial reaction to Haley’s arrival stood in stark contrast to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Trump’s chief primary rival during the 2016 campaign, who received a standing ovation from those in the crowd, including Trump themselves.

Deception
(50%)
The article is highly deceptive in its portrayal of crime and immigration in the US. It implies that crime rates are rising due to undocumented immigrants, which is not supported by peer-reviewed studies. The article also does not disclose sources for these claims about crime rates, making it difficult to verify their accuracy.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority, but no formal or informal fallacies are present. The author accurately reports the statements made by former rivals of Trump during the RNC, despite their use of inflammatory language. The dichotomous depiction of crime and immigration is evident in the article, with speakers blaming these issues on Democratic policies and presenting Trump as a solution to these problems. However, no false premises or logical errors are present in the reporting itself.
Former President Trump’s top rivals in the Republican Party lined up behind the 2024 nominee on Tuesday, promising he would “make America safe again” from violent criminals and dangerous undocumented immigrants who they suggested are invading the nation via an “open” southern border.
Speaker after speaker, from politicians to law enforcement officials to people labeled “everyday Americans,” blamed crime in the U.S. in part on an “invasion” of criminals crossing into the country from the southern border with Mexico — though studies for years have shown immigrants are less likely to commit crimes here than natural-born U.S. citizens.
On Tuesday, Cruz listed the names of Americans allegedly killed by people who are in the country illegally, including Kathryn Steinle, a 32-year-old woman who was shot in 2015 while strolling with her father on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. “As a result of Joe Biden’s presidency, your family is less safe. Your children are less safe. The country is less safe. But here’s the good news: We can fix it. And when Donald Trump is president, we will fix it,” Cruz said.
Officer Michael Fanone, a Capitol Police officer who was injured in that attack, condemned the presence of insurrectionists at the convention. “What happened on January 6th almost cost me my life and brought our democracy to the brink,” Fanone said in a statement. “This is a moment to come together and oppose those who call for violence in politics, but the RNC’s decision to give a platform to the same people who rioted against our democracy on January 6th does the opposite.”
Bias
(5%)
The authors use the terms 'dangerous undocumented immigrants' and 'invasion' to describe immigrants crossing the southern border, implying that they are a threat to safety. They also suggest that crime is rampant in the US due to an 'open border' and Democratic policies, without providing evidence. These statements demonstrate a bias against immigrants.
Crime and homelessness are perennial campaign talking points among Republicans, often couched as the result of liberal policies in states such as California.
