              • UNC has lost three of its last four home games against Duke, making tonight's matchup a must-watch.
            • Deception (50%)
              The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the game will be a must-watch when there are no specific reasons given for this claim. Secondly, it suggests that Sling TV is the most cost-effective way to watch the game without cable but fails to mention other options such as Hulu or YouTube TV which also offer ESPN at a lower price point. Thirdly, it states that FuboTV offers access to nearly every NCAA season game online but does not specify if this includes all games in the ACC conference. Lastly, the article uses sensationalism by stating that Duke and North Carolina have one of college basketball's fiercest rivalries which may not be accurate or objective.
              • The sentence 'It’s a must-watch game'
            • Fallacies (85%)
              The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that ESPN will air the game and Sling TV is a cost-effective way to watch it without cable. They also use inflammatory rhetoric when they describe the rivalry between Duke and North Carolina as 'fierce'. Additionally, there are several dichotomous depictions in the article such as 'best livestream options' and 'watch nearly every NCAA season game online for free', which creates a false sense of choice. The author also uses informal fallacies by stating that Duke will try to follow up last week's victory against Clemson with a back-to-back win, without providing any evidence or context.
              • The article states that ESPN will air the game and Sling TV is a cost-effective way to watch it without cable. This creates an appeal to authority fallacy as ESPN is seen as an authoritative source of information on sports events.
            • Bias (85%)
              The article is biased towards Sling TV as the best option to watch the game without cable. The author mentions that there is a deal offering 50% off your first month and highlights its features such as cloud-based DVR recording space. They also mention FuboTV but only briefly, making it seem like an afterthought.
              • The most cost-effective way to watch the game is through a live TV streaming subscription to Sling TV.
