The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Garrison Brown's roommate Addison Miele has broken his silence on the death of Garrison when he hasn't actually said anything new or different from what was previously reported. Secondly, the article quotes Janelle and Kody as saying that they are deeply saddened by their son's death but also mentions that they had been at odds with him over his strict COVID-19 rules. This creates a false impression of Garrison being an outsider in the family when he was actually one of them. Thirdly, the article quotes Janelle as saying that she hopes things can get better between her and Kody but doesn't mention anything about their relationship with Garrison or his death.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that Garrison Brown's texts were sent to a group of people the family works with when Janelle only asked one of her other kids to check on him after receiving the message. This misrepresents what happened and creates an impression that Janelle was concerned about Garrison's well-being, which is not supported by the article. Secondly, it quotes Gabriel as saying that he didn't think Garrison had problems with drinking before finding his body dead in his roommate's house. This contradicts what TMZ reported earlier and creates an impression that Gabriel was unaware of Garrison's struggles, which is not supported by the article. Lastly, it quotes Janelle as saying that she reached out to Garrison after receiving the message but stopped responding within a few minutes without any explanation for why he didn't respond or what happened to him.
The sentence 'Janelle told police she asked one of her other kids to check on Garrison after a disconcerting message he sent a group of people the family works with, according to a police report obtained by TMZ.' is deceptive because Janelle only asked one kid and not all the people who work with them.
The sentence 'Gabriel found him dead upon arrival at the residence on Tuesday.' contradicts what TMZ reported earlier and creates an impression that Gabriel was unaware of Garrison's struggles, which is not supported by the article.
The sentence 'Upon learning of the message, Janelle told police she reached out to Garrison, but he stopped responding within a few minutes.' is deceptive because it implies that Janelle was concerned about Garrison's well-being when in reality she didn't reach out or care.

The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'spiritual marriage' to describe Kody Brown's relationship with his ex-wives which implies that it is not a legally recognized or accepted form of marriage. This reinforces negative stereotypes about polygamist communities and their beliefs, suggesting that they are backwards and outdated. Additionally, the article mentions Garrison's estrangement from Kody Brown despite Janelle stating in her social media post that he was a bright spot in their lives. This implies that there is tension between the family members which could be seen as an attempt to monetize tragedy by using it for ratings and viewership.
