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

Biased language

Use of value-laden or positively/negatively charged wording that can subtly favor one side.

1) "gave resounding approval to the Chief Minister, signalling the formal restoration of popular government in the state." The phrase "resounding approval" is more evaluative than strictly descriptive, and "formal restoration of popular government" implies a strong positive normative judgment about the outcome, beyond simply stating that the floor test was won. 2) "signalling the formal restoration of popular government in the state." This frames the event as a clear and positive restoration, without explaining the prior status or providing context on differing views about the government’s legitimacy.

Replace "gave resounding approval to the Chief Minister" with a more neutral description such as: "approved the confidence motion in favor of the Chief Minister" or "voted in favor of the Chief Minister in the confidence motion."

Replace "signalling the formal restoration of popular government in the state" with a more neutral, factual formulation such as: "thereby confirming the continuation of the current state government" or "thereby confirming the Chief Minister’s majority in the Assembly."

If the notion of "restoration" is important, add context and attribution, for example: "which some leaders described as a step toward restoring normal political functioning in the state" rather than stating it as an unqualified fact.

Oversimplification

Presenting a complex political or social situation in overly simple terms, omitting relevant nuance.

The article states: "signalling the formal restoration of popular government in the state" and mentions "return to normalcy and peaceful coexistence" without any context about the prior political or security situation in Manipur, the nature of the crisis, or differing perspectives on whether this vote alone constitutes a "restoration" or "return to normalcy." This compresses a complex situation into a single procedural event.

Clarify the context briefly, for example: "The floor test follows a period of political and ethnic unrest in the state, during which [brief neutral description]."

Qualify the claim about restoration and normalcy with attribution, e.g.: "Supporters say the vote marks a step toward restoring normal political functioning, though tensions and challenges remain."

Avoid implying that the floor test alone resolves broader issues; instead, state: "The successful floor test confirms the government’s majority but broader efforts to restore peace and normalcy are ongoing."
