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.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Exaggerating or sensationalizing aspects of a story to attract attention.

The phrase 'black trash bags that form mountains on its sidewalks' is an example of sensationalism, as it exaggerates the situation to create a vivid image.

Replace 'black trash bags that form mountains on its sidewalks' with 'black trash bags that are commonly seen on its sidewalks.'

Unsubstantiated claims

Making claims without providing evidence or support.

The statement 'Mayor Eric Adams unveiling the trash cans as 'revolutionary' might've been mocked widely online' lacks specific examples or evidence to support the claim of widespread mockery.

Provide specific examples or references to instances where Mayor Eric Adams' actions were mocked online.
