Deceptions
40%
Examples:
- Are these attacks designed to steel the spines of the already converted or to win over a small swath of swing voters sufficient to turn the tide?
- But given the arm’s length distance the White House has kept from the whole sordid mess at 100 Centre Street, they seemed grossly ill-timed.
- The article portrays Trump as being absent from these debates when he is actually participating in his own way by hosting a town hall meeting across town. This statement is deceptive because the author implies that Trump has skipped the debates entirely, which is not true.
