Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that Rashee Rice has been arrested when no arrest has actually taken place yet. Secondly, it states that Rice is facing charges for aggravated assault and collision involving serious bodily injury which are not accurate as he hasn't been charged with anything yet. Thirdly, it mentions a Lamborghini being involved in the crash but doesn't mention who was driving the car or if there were any other passengers in it. This is deceptive because Rice has already admitted to being behind the wheel of his own vehicle and not anyone else's.
