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.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased language

The use of language that implies a negative connotation towards one side of the issue.

The phrase 'anti-Semitic BDS resolution' suggests a negative connotation towards the BDS movement without providing a neutral explanation or counterpoint.

Provide a definition of the BDS movement and include perspectives from supporters to offer a balanced view.

Sensationalism

The use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement.

The article's title suggests that the vote was intentionally scheduled on Passover, which could sensationalize the issue and imply deliberate discrimination.

Rephrase the title to neutrally state the facts, such as 'Pratt Institute faculty vote on Israel boycott resolutions; initial scheduling conflict resolved'.

Omission of key information

Leaving out important facts or details that could provide a more complete and balanced understanding of the situation.

The article does not provide information on the reasons behind the proposed boycott or the perspectives of those who proposed the resolutions, which could help readers understand the full context.

Include the rationale given by the proponents of the boycott resolutions and any statements they may have made.
