- The author uses sensationalism and exaggeration to create a dramatic effect and elicit sympathy for the victims. For example, he describes how one man wails as he runs towards the mortuary and how bodies at the hospital begin to decompose in the heat.

He also contradicts himself by saying that India's rail crash was its deadliest in this century, when there were much more fatal accidents in previous decades.
- The author also contradicts his own ethical standards by writing an article about the suffering of others without any regard for their privacy or dignity. He uses their names and personal details as a way to attract attention and generate sympathy.
- The author contradicts himself by stating that his biography is about a train crash in India, but then proceeding to write an article that has nothing to do with trains or crashes. He also contradicts the facts and figures he provides in his articles.
Deceptions

Examples:
- For example, he claims that Trump's abortion policy will include exceptions for rape and incest as well as protection for the life of the mother, but then admits that there is no evidence to support this claim.

He also does not explain how this offer relates to the issue of hunting trophies into the EU or what impact it would have on wildlife conservation.
