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

Misleading headlines

The headline suggests that Messi has not broken the Ballon d'Or record, but the article later states that he could become the all-time leading winner next week.

Lionel Messi could become the all-time leading Ballon d’Or winner next week, although many people thought he had already broken the record.

Change the headline to accurately reflect the content of the article.

Cherry-picking data

The article selectively mentions Pele's potential Ballon d'Or wins without providing the full context of the situation.

Because the Ballon d’Or did not cover South America until 1995, Pele never officially won the Golden Ball. However, in 2016, France Football – the award organisers – conducted an ‘international re-evaluation’, and decided that the Brazilian legend would have won the award seven times (1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1963, 1964 and 1970) had he been eligible.

Provide a more comprehensive explanation of Pele's situation and the re-evaluation conducted by France Football.

Omission of key information

The article fails to mention the other contenders for the Ballon d'Or and focuses solely on Messi and Haaland.

Erling Haaland is the other main contender after he scored 52 goals in his first 53 games during Manchester City’s treble-winning campaign.

Include information about other contenders for the Ballon d'Or to provide a more balanced perspective.

Biased language

The article uses biased language when referring to Messi's potential eighth Ballon d'Or win.

If those findings are to be taken as official, then Messi will only become the outright record winner of the Ballon d’Or if he wins an eighth prize.

Use neutral language when discussing Messi's potential eighth Ballon d'Or win.
