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

Biased language

The article uses biased language to describe Vivek Ramaswamy as a candidate who 'doesn’t have a chance in hell' and makes assumptions about law enforcement supporting Republicans.

Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the many Republican candidates for president who doesn’t have a chance in hell of wrestling the nomination away, is still on the campaign trail, doing his best to convince Trump to pick him for vice president. Since both cops and Republican presidential candidates love to lie, it’s hard to determine which side is actually telling the truth. But considering how strong law enforcement supports Republicans, you’d think that if they were going to lie, it would be in support of Ramaswamy. Then again, since he’s not white, that throws another variable into the whole equation.

Remove biased language and assumptions about the candidate's chances and law enforcement support.

Unbalanced reporting

The article presents the claims of Vivek Ramaswamy and his campaign, as well as the police version of events. However, it uses biased language and makes assumptions about the motivations of both sides.

According to Ramaswamy (who is polling at around 7%, by the way) and his campaign, it was enough to cause two protesters to ram his car at a campaign stop in Iowa. Police, however, disagree. According to their version of events, the driver was a 22-year-old woman who backed her car out of a parking spot when she accidentally hit Ramaswamy’s Ford Expedition. She reportedly told them 'she was not there protesting anything, had no idea whose vehicle she had hit, did not intentionally cause the crash and did not flee the scene.'

Present the claims of both sides without biased language and assumptions.

Appeal to authority

The article suggests that law enforcement supports Republicans and implies that they may lie in support of Ramaswamy.

Since both cops and Republican presidential candidates love to lie, it’s hard to determine which side is actually telling the truth. But considering how strong law enforcement supports Republicans, you’d think that if they were going to lie, it would be in support of Ramaswamy.

Avoid making assumptions about law enforcement support and focus on presenting the facts.
