Deception
(35%)
The article by Elaine Godfrey is highly deceptive in its portrayal of the Republican National Convention. The author makes it seem as though the GOP has completely absorbed Donald Trump's essence and that Trump has asserted an unprecedented level of control over the party. This is achieved through editorializing and manipulation of facts without providing peer-reviewed studies to back up claims, which is a form of deception in line with the analysis rules. The author also implies that there are lies by omission regarding any criticism or anti-MAGA sentiment that may have existed within the party's organizational and administrative echelons before Trump's takeover.
The Republicans’ gathering in Milwaukee next week will be simply this: a four-day fealty fest.
