Deceptions
62%
Examples:
- The article states ‘A sizable share was even more worried: Nineteen percent of those who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020, and 13 percent of those who said they would back him in November, said the 81-year-old president’s age was such a problem that he was no longer capable of handling the job.’ However this is not accurate as only 61% expressed concern about his age being too much.
- The article states ‘This unease, which has long surfaced in polls and in quiet conversations with Democratic officials, appears to be growing as Mr. Biden moves toward formally capturing his party’s nomination.’ However this is not accurate as the previous polling suggests that voters reservations about Mr. Biden’s age have grown over time.
- The article title implies that a majority of Biden’s voters now say he is too old to be effective when in fact only 61% said so and even fewer (19%) expressed concern about his age being such a problem that he was no longer capable of handling the job.
- The title of the article misrepresents the content by implying that Gaza protesters are challenging democratic leaders.
