Bias

Conflicts of Interest
50%
Examples:
- The article does not disclose any conflicts of interest that might affect its coverage of the Supreme Court or government funding issues. However, it is unclear if the author has any personal or professional ties to either party or interest group.
Contradictions
85%
Examples:
- The article contradicts itself by stating that a partial government shutdown is normal on Capitol Hill, but then criticizing Republicans for not following the appropriations process as it's laid out in the 1974 Budget Control Act.
Deceptions
50%
Examples:
- The article uses vague language and euphemisms to deceive readers about the nature of the government funding dilemma. For example, it calls a partial shutdown 'par for the course' on Capitol Hill, which implies that it is normal or acceptable, rather than a serious problem.
