Bias

80%

Examples:

  • Activists sympathetic to Peltier applauded the decision, while the FBI Agents Association and Director Christopher Wray praised the Parole Commission's decision to deny parole for Peltier.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The FBI has maintained his conviction was ‘rightly and fairly obtained’ and ‘has withstood numerous appeals to multiple courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

Contradictions

90%

Examples:

  • Leonard Peltier was denied parole on Tuesday, meaning there’s likely only one other way for him to be released: If President Joe Biden intervenes and commutes his sentence.
  • There is no physical evidence that Leonard Peltier committed a crime. The FBI and U.S. attorney's office never figured out who killed those agents.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • This decision is a missed opportunity for the United States to finally recognize the misconduct of the FBI
