  • Unique Points
    • President Joe Biden intends to address the verdict of Donald Trump’s criminal trials publicly, likely in a White House setting.
    • Biden’s team plans to argue that a guilty verdict demonstrates Trump’s unsuitability for office.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (50%)
    The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author states 'His team is preparing for a barrage of Republican and Trump attacks if the former president’s acquitted or if there’s a hung jury.' This implies that an acquittal or hung jury would be undesirable outcomes, which is an editorial opinion. Additionally, the article selectively reports on Biden's plans to address the verdict, focusing on his intention to do so in a White House setting and arguing that it isn't political. However, it does not mention that Biden also intends to argue that Trump's conviction demonstrates his unsuitability for office. This selective reporting presents an incomplete picture of Biden's plans.
    • The campaign’s social media team is considering leveraging the line of attack further, with discussions underway about referring to the ex-president online as ‘Convicted Felon Donald Trump.’
    • His team is preparing for a barrage of Republican and Trump attacks if the former president’s acquitted or if there’s a hung jury.
  • Fallacies (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Bias (95%)
    The article does not contain any clear examples of bias towards a specific political ideology, religion, or monetary gain. However, the author does use language that depicts Trump in a negative light and implies that his conviction would be damaging to the democratic system. This could be seen as implicit bias against Trump.
    • But it could make a difference along the margins, and that may matter in a race expected to be extremely close.
      • The criminal conviction of a former president looking to return to power is a somber moment that shouldn’t be nakedly wielded for political gain.

      • Fallacies (95%)
        The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states 'Nearly a third of voters – including 68% of Republicans – said they did not believe that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election.' This statement implies that the results from these polls are definitive proof that a significant portion of the population believes Biden did not win the election, when in reality, polls are only indicative of public opinion at a given moment and do not necessarily reflect objective truth. Additionally, there is an example of inflammatory rhetoric when it states 'America’s democracy is under threat.' While this statement may be true from some perspectives, it is also highly subjective and emotionally charged.
