The author uses an appeal to authority by referencing the January 6th rioters and President Joe Biden without providing any evidence or context for their positions.

    • registered Democrats cannot vote in the Republican primary and registered Republicans cannot vote in the Democratic primary
  • Bias (85%)
    Gregory Krieg's article is highly biased. The author uses the language of attack and vengeance to target Nikki Haley, his former UN ambassador and a rival in the New Hampshire primary.

The author also uses personal insults against Haley by suggesting that she is not mentally fit to be president again due to an incident in which Trump confused her with Nancy Pelosi. This shows a clear bias towards Trump and his campaign.

                      Ebony Davis has demonstrated a high level of bias in her reporting. She is using the example of Nikki Haley questioning Donald Trump's mental fitness to score political points against him.

This creates an impression that Haley is only making these statements to further her own political agenda and not because of any genuine concern for Trump's well-being.
