Deception
(30%)
The article by Katherine Donlevy contains selective reporting and sensationalism. The author only reports details that support the deceptive narrative of a dangerous bull escaping an arena and causing chaos. She fails to mention that the bull was trying to avoid two men on horseback before jumping over the fence, which contextualizes the incident as part of a rodeo event rather than a random act of violence. The author also uses emotional manipulation by describing in detail how the woman was injured and tossed by the bull, creating a sensationalized and fear-inducing image for readers.
