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

Biased language

Using language that unfairly favors or disfavors a particular side.

Phrases like 'Mamdani is running on a set of beliefs that are antithetical to New York City' and 'Cuomo’s audacity to even think about running' show clear bias.

Use neutral language to describe each candidate's policies and actions.

Ad hominem attacks

Attacking a person's character rather than addressing the argument.

Statements like 'They are all delusional, selfish individuals' and 'Will the moron Democrats in New York City ever wake up?' are personal attacks.

Focus on the policies and actions of the candidates rather than personal attacks.

Unsubstantiated claims

Making claims without providing evidence.

Claims such as 'Mamdani wants to give away everything for free and defund the police' are not supported with evidence.

Provide evidence or sources to support claims made about candidates' policies.

Cherry-picking data

Selecting data that supports a particular view while ignoring data that contradicts it.

The article highlights negative aspects of Mamdani and Cuomo while ignoring any positive aspects or achievements.

Include a balanced view by presenting both positive and negative aspects of each candidate.
