Deceptions

64%

Examples:

  • Alaina Getzenberg states that some fans used pieces of cardboard to dig out the snow and walked through the snow to clear a pathway in a particular row when it's not mentioned anywhere else in the article.
  • Gov Hochul says conditions will not be life-threatening when walking to or leaving Highmark Stadium despite stating earlier in her speech that some people have walked with shovels to help clear out snow.
  • The author mentions steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick warmed up for the game sleeveless but doesn't provide any context or explanation as to why this is relevant.
  • The author states that a travel ban remains in place for Orchard Park and other surrounding areas but fails to mention that this is only until Monday.
  • The statement 'Beane said injuries were a significant factor in these moves.' is deceptive because there is no evidence of this in the article.
  • The statement 'Poyer saw a drop in performance last season' is misleading because his statistics actually improved significantly compared to 2021.
  • The statement 'the Bills entered Wednesday more than $40 million over the cap.' is deceptive because it implies that they had enough money to sign Jordan Poyer and Tre⟚vious White, when in reality they were already struggling with cap space.
  • The title claims that Gov Kathy Hochul says the Steelers-Bills game will not be pushed back again when she actually said it won't be pushed back 'again'.
  • The title of the article implies that fans are digging through snow to find seats in stands when it's actually about them shoveling snow at Highmark Stadium as they prepare for a playoff game against Pittsburgh Steelers.
