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.

Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Selective use of sources

Only certain sources are quoted, which may skew the perception of the issue.

The article quotes multiple sources in favor of keeping the fence, such as Mayor Bryan Paterson, Emma Lambert of Tourism Kingston, and Tori Boshart, president of Kingston Baseball Association. However, only one source, Coun. Conny Glenn, is quoted against it.

Include more quotes or perspectives from community members or other council members who are against keeping the fence.

Provide data or surveys that show the community's opinion on the fence.

Appeal to emotion

The article uses emotional language to influence the reader's opinion.

Coun. Conny Glenn's quote, 'There’s been a lot of faith lost in politics over the years, and I’d hate to see us lose more over an outfield fence,' appeals to the reader's emotions rather than providing a logical argument.

Replace emotional language with factual statements or logical arguments.

Provide specific examples or data to support the claim about lost faith in politics.
