Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses emotional manipulation by stating that Navarro's request for release pending appeal was denied and he will be required to report to prison. This statement implies a sense of punishment or retribution against Navarro, which may not necessarily be true based on the facts presented in the article. Secondly, the author uses selective reporting by only mentioning that Navarro's request for release was denied and he will be required to report to prison without providing any context about why this decision was made or what evidence led to his conviction. This creates a one-sided view of events and may not accurately reflect the full story.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Navarro has one more chance to avoid being put behind bars if he can convince a federal appeals court that his legal challenges are likely to succeed. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that there is an ongoing legal challenge when none was mentioned earlier in the article. Secondly, the author states that Navarro failed where Bannon succeeded because Bannon's sentence has been put on hold pending appeal while he argues that he should have been able to stonewall Congress based on a lawyer's advice or his belief that he was barred from sharing information with the House committee due to executive privilege. This statement is also misleading as it implies that Navarro did not have any legal challenges, which is not true. Finally, the author states that Trump failed to invoke the privilege in this case when there is no mention of a privilege being invoked at all.
