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 sensational language to emphasize the significance of the game.

The Dallas Cowboys' huge 45-10 win over NFC East rival Washington Commanders pulled in a huge average audience of 41.4 million viewers, according to figures released on Friday night. That enormous number of viewers on CBS made the Thanksgiving blowout the third-most watched regular season game in NFL history. It was also the most watched game since Super Bowl LVII in February.

Use neutral language to describe the audience size and ranking of the game.

Cherry-picking data

The article selectively focuses on the viewership numbers and the presence of Dolly Parton to highlight the success of the game.

Another huge boost to the broadcast numbers will have been the presence of national treasure Dolly Parton during the halftime show. The 77-year-old, dressed in a Cowboys cheerleading outfit, wowed the crowd in the stadium and those watching on TV at home as she belted out hits like 9-5 and Jolene.

Provide a more balanced view by mentioning other factors that may have contributed to the viewership numbers.

Biased language

The article uses biased language to favor the Dallas Cowboys and their performance.

Despite the lack of a competitive scoreline in either game millions of viewers were still treated to tantalizing performances from Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey. Prescott went 22-32 for 331 yards and four touchdowns, while annihilating the Commanders defense.

Use neutral language to describe the performances of both teams and players.
