Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Exaggerating or sensationalizing details to provoke an emotional response.

Phrases like 'Shoppers were left gobsmacked' and 'eye-watering price' are used to sensationalize the reaction to the pricing.

Use neutral language to describe the pricing and reactions, such as 'Shoppers were surprised' or 'the price of £174'.

Appeal to emotion

Using emotional language to sway the audience's opinion.

The use of phrases like 'eye-watering price' and 'Tesco should stay in its lane' appeals to the reader's emotions.

Focus on factual descriptions of the product and its pricing without using emotionally charged language.
