Bias

35%

Examples:

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • In such lapses, Biden would sometimes appear listless, close the thread of conversations, or react with blank-stared confusion.

  • The floodgates for leaks have opened, reporters are intensely scrutinizing the issue, and the president is no longer getting the benefit of the doubt.
