Bias
88%
Examples:
- The author has a tendency to refer to Powerball tickets as 'tickets' and does not disclose the true reason behind the surge in the jackpot.
- The author implies that Meade and Umphenour are members of the Aryan Knights prison gang based primarily in Idaho, but there is no evidence presented in the article to support this claim.
Conflicts of Interest
50%
Examples:
- There is no clear evidence of conflicts of interest in the articles provided.
Contradictions
92%
Examples:
- The article claims that powerful tornadoes caused the damage when it was actually a combination of tornadoes and large hail that destroyed buildings.
- The US Department of Transportation determined that the flight delays and cancellations resulting from the system outage were 'controllable' and airlines must adhere to their customer service commitments.
Deceptions
62%
Examples:
- The article states that the Powerball jackpot has surged, but it does not provide any context for how this happened. It only mentions that there were no big winners on Wednesday night.
- The sentence 'Meade was due to be released from prison in 2036' is deceptive because it implies a timeline of events without providing proper context.
