The author Gabriel Hays demonstrates bias by selectively quoting former President Trump's comments about a 'bloodbath' in the automotive industry if he doesn't win re-election. The headlines from Rolling Stone, NBC News, CBS News and NPR all omit this context and imply that Trump is threatening violence if he loses.

Deception
(90%)
The article contains multiple examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses inflammatory language to describe some undocumented immigrants as 'not people', which is a clear attempt to delegitimize and dehumanise them. This statement is not supported by any evidence or facts presented in the article, making it an example of emotional manipulation and sensationalism. Secondly, the author falsely claims that English is the national language when discussing immigration policies. This misinformation serves to further marginalise immigrants who may struggle with learning a new language and assimilating into American culture. Lastly, Trump's statement about a 'bloodbath for the country' if he is not elected is an example of fear-mongering and violence rhetoric that has been used throughout his political career.
'In some cases they're not people, in my opinion. But I'm not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.'

The article contains several examples of bias from the author and the site. The author uses dehumanizing language to describe some undocumented immigrants as “not people”, which is a clear attempt to deny their humanity and dignity. This is similar to other statements by Trump where he has referred to migrants as rapists or poisoners of the blood. The site also uses inflammatory language in its headline, calling Trump's remarks “dehumanizing rhetoric”, which implies that his words are extreme and unreasonable. Additionally, the site is known for being biased towards conservative views and often publishes articles that favor Trump or attack his opponents. The examples of bias given in the help section also reflect these issues.
