  • Inconsistencies are found in the reporting of charges against Rashee Rice.

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • The article contains sensationalism and selective reporting as it only mentions Rice’s involvement in the crash without providing any context on why he was driving one of the sports cars.
  • The authors claim that Knox is identified by Dallas police as 21-year-old Theodore Knox when it is unclear if he has an attorney or if he was actually identified by police.
  • The authors claim that Rashee Rice faces eight charges when in fact he only faces one count of aggravated assault and six counts of collision involving injury. This is a lie by omission as they fail to provide any evidence or context on why Rice was charged with these additional counts.
  • The police spokesperson claims that passengers in the sports cars will not face charges but do not provide any evidence to support this statement. This is a deceptive practice as it implies that there are no consequences for those involved in the crash without providing any information on what happened or why certain individuals were exempt from charges.
