  • Deception (5%)
    The article provides information about Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance's name changes throughout his life. While the article itself is not deceptive, it does engage in selective reporting by focusing on Vance's name changes and implying that he changed his name to 'Vance' for political reasons when he actually did so before entering politics. The article also uses emotional manipulation by describing Vance's childhood as 'tumultuous' and his grandmother, Mamaw, as his 'north star'.
    • The article implies that Vance changed his name for political reasons when in fact he did so before entering politics.
    • The situation gnawed at him, particularly after his mother and adoptive father divorced. So he decided to change his name again, to Vance – the last name of his beloved Mamaw... Claiming the Vance name also served to tie JD more clearly to what he writes was ‘hillbilly royalty’ on his grandfather’s side not long before he would release a book opining on hillbilly culture.
