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 sensational language to evoke strong emotions.

The article uses phrases like 'violent crime', 'degenerate thieves', and 'kill you, and you, and me, and my grandchildren', which may sensationalize the issue and evoke fear.

Use neutral language to describe historical and current events without evoking unnecessary emotions.

Misleading Headlines

The headline may not accurately reflect the content of the article.

The headline suggests that Trump is the most prominent figure to link immigrants with crime, but the article discusses a broader historical context and other figures.

Adjust the headline to reflect the historical context provided in the article, such as 'The Long History of Linking Immigrants to Crime in American Politics'.

Biased Language

Language that is partial or prejudiced towards one side.

The article focuses heavily on Trump's rhetoric, which could imply a bias against him, especially with phrases like 'unfounded narrative' and 'without any evidence'.

Present Trump's statements alongside counterpoints in a more balanced manner, without implying judgment on their validity.

Unbalanced Reporting

Reporting that disproportionately covers one side of an issue.

The article spends a significant portion discussing Trump's statements and actions, with less emphasis on the broader historical context or other politicians' views.

Provide more space to the historical context and views of other politicians to balance the reporting.
