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

Use of emotionally charged language to provoke interest at the expense of accuracy.

The phrase 'Queen Elizabeth was enraged' and 'as angry as I’d ever seen her' are examples of sensationalism, aiming to evoke a strong emotional response from the reader.

Replace sensationalist language with neutral descriptions of the events.

Biased language

Language that is partial or prejudiced, favoring or disfavoring something.

The article uses biased language such as 'co-opt the palace into propping up their claims' and 'noisy threats of legal action', which suggests a negative view of Harry and Meghan's actions.

Use neutral language to describe the actions of both parties.

Unbalanced reporting

Reporting that disproportionately focuses on one side of an issue.

The article heavily focuses on the perspective of the Queen and her staff, with less emphasis on the Sussexes' side of the story, leading to unbalanced reporting.

Include more information from Harry and Meghan's perspective to balance the reporting.

Appeal to emotion

Manipulating an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument.

The article's focus on the Queen's alleged anger is an appeal to emotion, as it attempts to sway the reader's opinion based on emotional reactions rather than facts.

Focus on factual information rather than emotional reactions.
