Bias
95%
Examples:
- The articles provided show no instances of bias.
Conflicts of Interest
90%
Examples:
- There are no instances of conflicts of interest found in the articles provided.
Contradictions
88%
Examples:
- Another contradiction is found in the article about ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov. The title of the article implies that Smirnov has been re-arrested for lying about President Biden's family and their alleged dealings in Ukraine. However, this is not entirely accurate as Smirnov was initially indicted on these charges but released by a magistrate judge in Nevada.
- In one article, it was reported that three Trump allies were charged in a fake electors scheme where they submitted paperwork falsely claiming that Trump had won Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election. However, there is no mention of this scheme in any other articles.
- The article about Illinois and Massachusetts voters seeking to take Trump off the 2024 ballot mentions that removing Trump from the ballot would be anti-democratic. However, the argument is flawed as it doesn't consider that former President Donald J. Trump faces legal challenges similar to those in Colorado in at least 16 additional states.
Deceptions
58%
Examples:
- In one article, it is reported that the alleged scheme involving Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife took place from late 2014 through at least November 2021. However, this information is not mentioned in any other articles.
- The article about ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov also contains some deceptive practices as it implies that Smirnov has been re-arrested for lying about President Biden's family and their alleged dealings in Ukraine. This is not entirely accurate as explained above.
