Bias

94%

Examples:

  • The articles show a slight right-leaning bias as they often feature positive coverage of local politicians and their accomplishments.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • No conflicts of interest were identified.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • An article mentions that Jeff Landry won his election last October with over 50% of the vote, but it also states that Louisiana's current election system puts candidates running for state and congressional offices on one ballot, with the primary typically occurring in either October or November. This creates a contradiction because if a candidate gets a majority they win the office; if not, the top two candidates advance to a runoff about a month later. The elimination of the open primary system would be a dramatic change to how politicians are elected in Louisiana.

Deceptions

100%

Examples:

  • No deceptive practices were identified.
