  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'viciously claps back' and 'have so much dirt on her'. This creates a false sense of urgency and importance around Sharon Stone's claims without providing any evidence to support them. Secondly, the article quotes Baldwin saying that he has kept quiet about his alleged affair with Stone for years, but then proceeds to make threatening statements such as 'I might write a book'. This contradicts his earlier statement and creates confusion. Finally, the author uses emotional manipulation by quoting Baldwin's angry tweets without providing any context or explanation of why he is so upset.
