Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Exaggerating or sensationalizing aspects of a story to provoke public interest or excitement.

The use of phrases like 'shocked and confused' and the repeated exclamations in the comments section contribute to a sensational tone.

Use more neutral language to describe the reactions, such as 'surprised' or 'taken aback'.

Avoid using excessive punctuation and capital letters in quotes to maintain a more objective tone.

Appeal to Emotion

Using emotional responses to persuade the audience rather than factual evidence.

The article includes emotionally charged comments from social media, such as 'WOAH KMART GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO' and 'I’m sorry WHATTTTTT!!!!!!?????'.

Include more factual information about the book's content and the store's policies regarding adult material.

Balance emotional reactions with more analytical perspectives on the appropriateness of selling such books.
