President Joe Biden has announced a new plan to provide relief for millions of student loan borrowers. The plan includes several actions that will benefit different groups, including those who have had hardships in repaying their loans and those whose loan balances have ballooned due to interest. Under the proposal, borrowers with undergraduate or graduate loans who started paying off loans at least 20 or 25 years ago would have their debts canceled. Borrowers enrolled in low financial value programs will also be eligible for relief, as well as those experiencing hardship paying back their loans because of medical or child care costs. Additionally, borrowers whose loan balances have ballooned due to interest will have up to $20,000 of their interest balance canceled. The plan would affect nearly 30 million people and is aimed at targeting groups that have had hardships in repaying their loans.

Bias
(85%)
The article is biased in favor of the author's assertion that Biden's plan for student loan bailouts is unconstitutional and a stunning act of contempt. The author uses strong language to criticize Biden and his actions, such as 'shredding the Constitution', 'lawlessness', 'arrogance', and 'dictator'. The author also implies that Biden's plan will benefit taxpayers rather than borrowers, which is a disproportionate number of quotations that reflect a specific position. The article does not provide any evidence or arguments to support the opposing view, nor does it acknowledge any potential benefits or drawbacks of Biden's plan for the economy or society. Therefore, this analysis finds some bias in the article.
He said that yes, the Supreme Court blocked my plan, it's illegal. But then he said, quote, that won't stop me.
What he's really doing is shredding the Constitution.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that President Biden's new plans will benefit millions of borrowers by canceling runaway interest and nullifying debt for those who are eligible for but not yet participating in certain forgiveness programs. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that all borrowers will receive relief when only a portion of them will. Secondly, the author uses emotional language such as
The administration's new plans are aimed at canceling runaway interest for millions of borrowers; nullifying debt for those who are eligible for but not yet participating in certain forgiveness programs,

Bias
(80%)
The article is biased towards the Biden administration's new student debt relief plans. The author uses phrases such as 'life-changing', 'crushing debt', and 'eliminating accrued interest for millions of borrowers'. These statements are highly positive and suggest that the relief will have a significant impact on people's lives, which may not be entirely accurate or fair. Additionally, the article mentions how Republicans opposed Biden's original plan to cancel up to $20,000 in debt for about 43 million eligible borrowers. This statement implies that there is only one side of the issue and ignores other perspectives.

President Joe Biden on Monday announced revised plans to cancel federal student debt
The administration's new plans, in combination with previous actions it has taken, would provide student debt relief to more than 30 million Americans
President Biden announced a large-scale effort to help pay off federal student loans for more than 20 million borrowers.
The proposal would affect nearly 30 million people and would target groups that have had hardships in repaying their loans.
Borrowers whose loan balances have ballooned because of interest would have up to $20,000 of their interest balance canceled. The plan would waive the entire interest balance for borrowers considered low- and middle-income who are enrolled in the administration's income-driven repayment plans.
Borrowers with undergraduate student debt who started repaying their loans more than 20 years ago, and graduate students who started paying their debt 25 or more years ago, would have their debts canceled.
Borrowers enrolled in programs or colleges that lost federal funding because they cheated or defrauded students would have their debts waived.
Students who attended institutions or programs that left them with mounds of debt but bleak earning or job prospects would also be eligible for relief.
Borrowers experiencing hardship paying back their loans because of medical or child care costs would also be eligible for some type of relief. The administration has not yet determined how these borrowers will be identified, but is considering automatic forgiveness for those at risk of defaulting.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that President Biden's new student debt relief plan will affect nearly 30 million people when it only affects around 27 million borrowers according to a report by the Department of Education. Secondly, the author states that President Biden announced five major actions to continue relieving student debt for more than 30 million Americans since he started his administration. However, this is not accurate as President Biden's first attempt at wiping out student debt on a large scale was in 2017 and it did not involve any new plan or action. Thirdly, the author claims that starting this fall, they will deliver up to $20,000 in interest relief to over 2 million borrowers and full forgiveness for millions more. However, according to a report by the Department of Education only around 14 million borrowers are eligible for loan discharge under President Biden's new plan.

This is an example of emotional appeal and plays into a narrative that portrays student loan borrowers as victims who are struggling due to no fault of their own.
It means they can finally get on with their lives instead of being put on hold.
