Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • <strong>Exaggeration:</strong> The article describes NC State's run as a <em>'miracle</em>, which is an exaggeration and not supported by factual information.
  • The article selectively reports on Marquette's poor performance while ignoring NC State's own mistakes such as cheating off Stevie Mitchell. This is deceptive because it presents only one side of the story without providing a complete picture.

Deceptions

Examples:

  • <strong>Exaggeration:</strong> The article uses emotional manipulation to describe the crowd going wild after DJ Burns scored the winning shot and using images of fans celebrating.
