Bias

90%

Examples:

  • Alec Baldwin’s trial is on track to take place in July despite multiple attempts by his lawyers to have the charge dismissed.
  • The title implies that snow will be coming to New York after a record February warmth when in fact it's not guaranteed and could just as easily turn out to be rain.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • Alex Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial is being covered by the New York Post, which may create a conflict of interest in reporting on the case.

Contradictions

95%

Examples:

  • The article states that VSS Unity reached an altitude of 87.5 kilometers during the flight, but also mentions that automated payloads from Purdue University and University of California Berkeley were flown on VSS Unity through NASA's Flight Opportunities program.
  • The title implies that snow will be coming to New York after a record February warmth when in fact it's not guaranteed and could just as easily turn out to be rain.
  • VSS Unity conducted its final commercial mission on June 8, 2023

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • The title of the article 'Weather whiplash: Snow heads to NYC after record February warmth' is misleading as it suggests that snow is guaranteed to fall in New York City when in fact it's not guaranteed and could just as easily turn out to be rain.
