Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The article also contradicts itself by not reporting on any facts or details that could support Belichick's case for getting hired by these teams.
  • The article contradicts itself by saying that it would take a change of direction for something to happen with the Commanders or Seahawks, but then says that their chances increased when another team hired someone else.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article uses selective reporting by only mentioning the Falcons as the team that interviewed Belichick and then moving on to talk about their hiring of Raheem Morris.
