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

Sensationalism

The article uses sensationalism by creating a headline that suggests Reese Witherspoon and Kevin Costner are dating, when in fact the article denies this rumor.

Fans bizarrely began speculating the pair were Hollywood’s new hot couple after Naughty But Nice podcast host Rob Shuter posted a poll to X (formerly Twitter), writing: ‘POLL OF THE DAY: Kevin Costner is rumored to be romancing Reese Witherspoon. Do you love this new couple?’ However, the Legally Blonde star, 47, has dashed fans’ hopes of a new romance after denying she and the Yellowstone actor, 68, are an item.

The headline should accurately reflect the denial of the dating rumor.

Misleading headlines

The headline suggests that Reese Witherspoon and Kevin Costner are addressing dating rumors, but the article actually denies the rumors.

The headline should accurately reflect that Reese Witherspoon denies the dating rumors.

Cherry-picking data

The article selectively presents information about Reese Witherspoon's divorce and her statement about it, without providing the same level of detail about Kevin Costner's divorce.

Big Little Lies’ actor Reese announced her divorce from actor and producer Jim Toth just days before their 12th wedding anniversary. In a post on her Instagram page, she insisted that their priority was their son, Tennessee Williams, and their ‘entire family’. Speaking about their break-up, the mom-of-three reflected on the difference between the way she publicly handled their separation compared to her split from her first husband, Ryan Phillippe – who she shares children Ava and Deacon with. Field of Dreams actor Kevin’s wife Christine Baumgartner, 49, filed for divorce earlier this year citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’ Christine and Kevin share three children: Cayden, 15, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 12.

Provide equal detail and context about Kevin Costner's divorce and his statement about it.

Omission of key information

The article omits key information about Kevin Costner's divorce settlement and the accusations made by his ex-wife.

Since then, they had been hashing out the details of their split after she demanded more than $129,000 in child support and accused the Waterworld actor of trying to make their family homeless. In September, it was announced the couple had settled their bitter divorce.

Include information about Kevin Costner's divorce settlement and the accusations made by his ex-wife.

Unbalanced reporting

The article provides more information and quotes from Reese Witherspoon, while providing less information about Kevin Costner.

Reese Witherspoon has spoken out on rumours she is dating Kevin Costner amid their respective divorces. ‘This story is completely fabricated and not true,’ representatives for Reese told Page Six. ‘It’s interesting what happened to me,’ she said of issuing the statement. ‘When I was divorced before, the tabloid media got to tell people how I was feeling or how I was processing, and it felt very out of control. ‘To be able to talk to people directly about what’s going on in my life and just share it in the way that I share great professional experiences or personal experiences, it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what’s happening. ‘Then, of course, there’s speculation, but I can’t control that. All I can do is be my most honest, forthright self and be vulnerable. It’s a vulnerable time for me.’

Provide more balanced reporting by including more information and quotes from Kevin Costner.
