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.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased Language

The use of biased language can manipulate objectivity by presenting information in a way that favors a particular side or viewpoint.

Russia’s ruling party is likely to claim a resounding victory in local elections that end Sunday and act as both a dry run for President Vladimir Putin’s reelection next year and an attempt to strengthen the country’s grip on four occupied areas in Ukraine.

Rephrase the statement to present the information in a neutral manner: 'Russia’s ruling party is participating in local elections that end Sunday, which also serve as a preparation for President Vladimir Putin’s potential reelection next year.'

Loaded Language

The use of loaded language can manipulate objectivity by using emotionally charged words or phrases that evoke a particular response from the reader.

Russian authorities also are staging local elections in the occupied areas of four Ukrainian regions—Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk and Kherson — which Moscow annexed a year ago in illegal referendums.

Use neutral language to describe the situation: 'Russian authorities are holding local elections in the areas of four Ukrainian regions—Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson—which were annexed by Moscow in referendums that were deemed illegal by the international community.'

Selective Reporting

Selective reporting can manipulate objectivity by presenting only one side of the story or omitting important information that may provide a different perspective.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said the elections in those areas would have 'no validity under international law.' The voting in those territories is 'a blatant violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, Ukrainian laws and international law—in particular the UN statute,' the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

Include the perspective of the Russian authorities or supporters of the elections to provide a balanced view of the situation.
