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

Sensationalism

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

Critics of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s gag order request against former President Donald Trump say it is too broad and would essentially ban a presidential candidate from criticizing his opponent, in an unprecedented restriction during a presidential election.

Present the information in a neutral and objective manner without using exaggerated language.

Misleading headlines

Using headlines that do not accurately reflect the content of the article

Smith's Gag Order Would Essentially Ban Trump from Criticizing Biden, Critics Say

Use a headline that accurately reflects the content of the article without favoring any side.

Cherry-picking data

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

Through such posts, the defendant is attempting to submit his false and inflammatory claims to the public and jury pool outside of court, because he knows that any such claims made before the Court in the form of motions to suppress or of vindictive prosecution will fail because they must be supported by evidence—of which there is none.

Present a balanced view by including any contradictory data or evidence that may exist.

Biased language

Using language that favors one side over another

The trump gag order is truly insane. Headlines didn’t capture how broad it is. Biden’s DOJ wants to ban trump from even suggesting Biden is behind his prosecution. He also isn’t allowed to say that he can’t get a fair trial in an overwhelmingly dem district

Use neutral language that does not favor any side.

Unbalanced reporting

Presenting information in a way that favors one side over another

Smith’s motion, which District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan has to rule on, claims to seek only a “modest” gag order. That’s not true. The prosecutor wants to bar Trump from “disparaging and inflammatory” statements not just about potential witnesses but also about “any party” to the case in United States v. Trump. That seems to include the prosecution and Biden’s Justice Department in general.

Present a balanced view by including information from both sides of the argument.

Appeal to authority

Using the opinion or endorsement of an authority figure to support a claim

Jason Willick, a Washington Post columnist, wrote Tuesday in a piece criticizing the gag order:

Provide a variety of sources and perspectives to support the claims made in the article.
