Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

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

The article title 'Martina Navratilova rips Newsweek's controversial column saying Taylor Swift isn't a role model because she’s 34 and childless' uses sensationalism to provoke a strong emotional response.

Use a neutral title that reflects the content of the article without provoking unnecessary emotion.

Biased language

Language that is biased or contains elements of partiality, favoring one side over another.

The phrase 'A massive pile of misogynistic bull' is an example of biased language that discredits the columnist's perspective without a balanced argument.

Present criticism of the columnist's views in a more neutral and objective manner.

Ad hominem attacks

Attacking the character or motives of a person rather than the content of their argument.

Navratilova's comment 'This guy should be ashamed of himself' is an ad hominem attack on the columnist rather than a critique of the column's content.

Focus on the content of the column and provide counterarguments to the points made rather than attacking the columnist personally.

Appeal to emotion

Attempting to manipulate an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument.

The column's questioning of whether parents would want their daughter to date multiple men appeals to the emotions of fear and concern for children's well-being rather than providing a rational argument.

Provide a balanced discussion on role models without resorting to emotional manipulation.
