Bias
82%
Examples:
- A bipartisan chorus of lawmakers called for her to resign her post. The criticism was sharper from Republicans, but Democrats also prodded Cheatle to let go.
- Hunter Biden also gave her a brief wave when she identified him in court.
- Robin Bryant-Yeartie testified that she had observed
Conflicts of Interest
75%
Examples:
- Do you really, genuinely, in your heart, believe that you being in this role is what’s right for America at this moment?
- That is essential testimony for the special counsel. Counts 1 and 2 of the three-count felony indictment are tied directly to Hunter Biden's alleged false statement on that form about his drug use.
- The party also raises the possibility that other states might adopt Colorado's rationale to exclude Trump from the ballot.
Contradictions
85%
Examples:
- Hunter Biden's ex-wife testified about finding drug paraphernalia in his car in 2018.
- The Colorado GOP argued that the state Supreme Court's ruling disqualifying Trump from Colorado's 2024 ballot was an unprecedented disregard for the First Amendment right of political parties to select the candidates of their choice and usurped the rights of the people to choose their elected officials.
- The third day of the Hunter Biden trial saw his ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend testify in vivid detail about his drug addiction.
Deceptions
43%
Examples:
- The authors use sensationalism by stating that the Colorado Supreme Court ruling is unprecedented and that it is a usurpation of the rights of the people to choose their elected officials.
- The title of the article implies that Fani Willis has been found guilty or convicted of something when she hasn't. This is a lie by omission.
