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

Biased language

Use of language that suggests a bias towards one side of the argument.

The use of phrases like 'grilling before the former president’s lawyers get their chance' and 'Trump fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen' may suggest a bias against the defense and Trump.

Use neutral language such as 'questioning' instead of 'grilling' and describe Michael Cohen as 'former Trump attorney' without the 'fixer-turned-foe' characterization.

Omission of key information

Leaving out information that is crucial to understanding the full context of the situation.

The article does not provide details on the evidence presented by the prosecution or the specific arguments made by the defense, which could be key to understanding the full context of the trial.

Include a summary of the key evidence and arguments presented by both the prosecution and the defense to provide a more balanced view.

Unsubstantiated claims

Claims made without providing evidence or sources to back them up.

The article mentions 'Trump fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen' without substantiating the nature of their relationship or the reasons for the change in Cohen's stance.

Provide evidence or sources that explain why Cohen is characterized as a 'fixer' and the reasons behind his change in stance towards Trump.
