Bias

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

Examples:

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • He also uses exaggerated language and quotation marks around Living in the 20s, which implies that he is trying to make it sound more important or influential than it actually is.
  • The author uses deceptive practices by making sweeping statements without providing any evidence or examples to support them. He says that Saviors is a return to form, but does not explain why or how it differs from their previous albums.
