Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.

Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Presenting information in a way that is intended to provoke interest, excitement, or shock.

The article uses sensational language to describe the rumour about Steve Harvey, such as 'could have potentially ruined his career' and 'the worst part about the rumour is not the fact that someone made up damaging information about a couple that could have potentially ruined their careers or worse broken up their families.'

Use more neutral language to describe the rumour and its potential impact.

Cherry-picking data

Selectively choosing data or information that supports a particular viewpoint while ignoring contradictory data or information.

The article focuses solely on the negative aspects of the rumour and the people who believed and spread it, without considering any other perspectives or motivations behind their actions.

Provide a more balanced view by acknowledging that not everyone believed or spread the rumour, and explore possible reasons why some people may have done so.

Biased language

Using language that favors one side or viewpoint over another.

The article uses biased language to describe the people who believed and spread the rumour, such as 'keyboard warriors' and 'the lowest types of humans.'

Use more neutral language to describe the people involved in spreading the rumour.

Appeal to emotion

Manipulating the reader's emotions to influence their opinion or actions.

The article appeals to the reader's emotions by describing the potential impact of the rumour on Steve Harvey's career and family, and questioning why people would take pleasure in someone else's downfall.

Focus on presenting factual information and logical arguments rather than relying on emotional appeals.
