Donald Trump / US presidency
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.
Using positive, evaluative adjectives that frame an event as successful or important without providing evidence. Here it appears inside a direct quote from a political actor.
Quote: „რუსეთის პრეზიდენტ პუტინთან კარგი და ძალიან პროდუქტიული სატელეფონო საუბარი მქონდა“ ("I had a good and very productive telephone conversation with President Putin"). These are Trump’s own value-laden characterizations, not supported by details about what made the call productive.
Add clarifying context that these are Trump’s subjective characterizations, for example: „ტრამპის თქმით, საუბარი იყო ‘კარგი და ძალიან პროდუქტიული’“ and, if possible, note that no details were provided to substantiate this assessment.
Where space allows, briefly mention whether independent information about the call’s content is available or not, e.g.: „საუბრის შინაარსზე დამატებითი დეტალები ოფიციალურად არ გავრცელებულა.“
Avoid echoing the positive framing in the reporter’s own voice; keep it clearly attributed and in quotation marks, as is already done.
Leaving out relevant context that would help readers fully understand the significance of the reported events.
The article notes that Trump and Putin agreed by phone on a summit in Budapest and that Trump later canceled it as a ‘waste of time’, but it does not explain the broader political context: why the summit was considered, what issues were at stake, or why he judged it a waste of time. It also does not mention any reactions from Ukraine, Russia, or US institutions to these calls and decisions.
Add one or two sentences of context about the planned Budapest summit: its purpose, who initiated it, and what topics were expected to be discussed.
Include, if available, brief reactions or positions from Ukrainian or Russian officials, or from US institutions, to balance Trump’s own framing of the calls and cancellation.
Clarify the timeline and political backdrop (e.g., ongoing conflicts, negotiations, or sanctions) so readers can better assess the importance of the ‘productive’ call and the later cancellation.
- This is an EXPERIMENTAL DEMO version that is not intended to be used for any other purpose than to showcase the technology's potential. We are in the process of developing more sophisticated algorithms to significantly enhance the reliability and consistency of evaluations. Nevertheless, even in its current state, HonestyMeter frequently offers valuable insights that are challenging for humans to detect.
