Deception
(80%)
The article is a clear example of the author's bully pulpit approach. The president uses this tactic to call out resistance from former President Donald Trump and Republicans on Ukraine and Russia. This approach has become more pronounced in recent days as the president has latched onto House Republicans' refusal to approve additional aid for Ukraine and Donald Trump's refusal to condemn Russia for the death of Alexey Navalny, Vladimir Putin's top critic. The author uses direct quotations from the article that clearly demonstrate deception.

President Joe Biden announced he was canceling federal student loans for nearly 153,000 borrowers.
The loan relief helps the greater economy because when people have a student debt relief, they buy homes. They start businesses, they contribute. They engage.
Biden's administration began sending email notifications on Wednesday to some of the borrowers who will benefit from what the White House has called the SAVE program.
The first round of forgiveness from the SAVE plan will clear $1.2 billion in loans and 150,000 Americans have their debt cancelled.
More than 7.5 million people have enrolled in the new repayment plan.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that a college degree was once a ticket to a better life but now it's too expensive. This statement implies that there has been an increase in tuition costs which is not entirely true as inflation-adjusted tuition costs have remained relatively stable over time. Secondly, the article states that loan relief helps the greater economy by allowing people to buy homes, start businesses and contribute more to society. However, this claim lacks evidence and it's unclear how loan relief directly leads to these outcomes. Lastly, the author uses emotional language such as 'too many Americans are saddled with unsustainable debt in exchange for a college degree' which is designed to evoke sympathy from readers rather than providing factual information.

Secondly, the author commits a false dilemma by presenting only two options: either borrowers are saddled with unsustainable debt in exchange for a college degree or they receive loan relief. This oversimplifies the issue and ignores other factors that may contribute to student loan debt such as rising tuition costs and stagnant wage growth. Thirdly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that borrowers are

The article contains a statement that implies the President is saying too many Americans are saddled with unsustainable debt in exchange for a college degree. This statement could be interpreted as an example of ideological bias because it suggests that there is something inherently wrong with having student loan debt and implies that those who have it should not have to pay off their loans.
