Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article quotes Julie Chávez Rodréguez stating that Republicans are divided either spending money fighting Donald Trump or supporting his extreme and losing agenda. This statement is deceptive because it implies that all Republicans support Trump’s extreme agenda when in fact this may not be true for all Republicans.
  • The article states that President Biden has a ‘colossal cash advantage’ over Trump and the RNC, but does not provide context for how much money each campaign has raised overall. This statement is misleading.
