Bias

50%

Examples:

  • The author often uses exaggeration to make the news more interesting, but this can also mislead readers.
  • The author tends to present the views of Alexander Stubb and his party in a positive light.
  • The author uses sensationalism by stating that Finland's Stubb and Haavisto are head for a runoff in the presidential election.

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • Finland's president holds executive power in formulating foreign and security policy, particularly when dealing with countries outside the European Union like Russia and China
  • Finland's presidential election is headed for a runoff
  • Membership in NATO has made Finland a front-line country toward Russia and boosted its status as a security policy leader
  • None of the nine candidates managed to secure more than 50% of the votes in the first round held on Sunday, leading to a runoff election next month.

Deceptions

100%

Examples:

  • For example, stating that Finland's Stubb and Haavisto are head for a runoff in the presidential election when this is not factual. Another example is using sensationalism to make the news more interesting but potentially misleading.
