  • The source also seems to have a pro-law enforcement stance as seen in the article about the 25 crashes on interstate where the BBC News and WBRZ articles report 7 deaths while the KWTX article only reports 2.
  • The source contains several instances of biased reporting. For example, the article on the Killeen population explosion expects it to double during a four-day period without providing any context or evidence for this claim.
