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.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased language

The article uses biased language to favor Kevin Costner.

Some would say that Kevin Costner’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, doesn’t know how to quit while she’s ahead. Baumgartner keeps losing key court rulings in her highly contentious divorce from the rich and powerful movie star, but she seems determined to press ahead with challenging a provision in their prenuptial agreement, which she signed before she married him in 2004.

Use neutral language to present the facts without favoring any side.

Avoid using subjective terms like 'doesn't know how to quit while she's ahead' and 'highly contentious divorce.'

Sensationalism

The article uses sensationalism to make the situation appear more dramatic and outrageous.

Even more 'outrageous,' according to Costner’s attorney: Baumgartner wants him to pay the $855,000 she says her lawyers need to pursue this risky legal gambit.

Present the information without using sensational language.

Use neutral terms to describe the situation.

Omission of key information

The article omits key information that could provide a more balanced perspective.

Judge Thomas Anderle has already sided with the actor and director in several key rulings. Anderle found that the prenup was enforceable when it came to the provision that Baumgartner needed to leave the family home in the event of a divorce.

Include information about any rulings that may have favored Christine Baumgartner to provide a more balanced perspective.

Present both sides of the argument to give readers a complete understanding of the situation.
