Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Unbalanced reporting

Presenting mainly one side’s statements or perspective without including other relevant viewpoints or reactions.

The article only reports the President’s directive and the presence of the Home Minister and security chiefs: - "राष्ट्रपति रामचन्द्र पौडेलले आसन्न निर्वाचनलाई स्वच्छ, निष्पक्ष र भयरहित वातावरणमा सम्पन्न गर्न आवश्यक शान्ति सुरक्षाको प्रबन्ध सशक्त, सुदृढ र प्रभावकारी बनाउन निर्देशन दिएका छन् ।" - "'लोकतन्त्रमा जनताको अभिमत बुझ्ने उपयुक्त माध्यम निर्वाचनले नै मुलुकको वर्तमान अवस्थालाई निकास दिन्छ, त्यसैले यो निर्वाचनलाई भयरहित वातावरणमा सम्पन्न गर्न सरकार र सुरक्षा निकायले कुनै कसर बाँकी राख्ने छैन', भेटमा राष्ट्रपति पौडेलको भनाइ उद्धृत गर्दै उनका प्रेस सल्लाहकार किरण पोखरेलले जानकारी दिए ।" There is no mention of how opposition parties, election observers, or independent experts view these directives, nor any context about existing security concerns or past issues.

4 suggestions

Include reactions or comments from opposition parties or other political actors on the President’s directive and election security preparations.

Add input from independent election or security experts about whether such directives are routine, sufficient, or raise any concerns.

Provide brief context on past election security challenges or incidents to allow readers to evaluate the significance and effectiveness of the directive.

Clarify whether there are any criticisms or doubts about the government’s ability to ensure a ‘भयरहित वातावरण’ (fear-free environment), instead of only quoting the President’s confidence.

Appeal to authority

Relying on the status or position of a person (e.g., President) to imply correctness or sufficiency of a claim, without additional evidence or scrutiny.

The article relies entirely on the President’s statement and his press advisor’s quotation to frame the election as being made ‘स्वच्छ, निष्पक्ष र भयरहित’ through directives: - "राष्ट्रपति रामचन्द्र पौडेलले ... निर्देशन दिएका छन् ।" - "... सरकार र सुरक्षा निकायले कुनै कसर बाँकी राख्ने छैन', भेटमा राष्ट्रपति पौडेलको भनाइ उद्धृत गर्दै उनका प्रेस सल्लाहकार किरण पोखरेलले जानकारी दिए ।" The implication is that because the President and top security officials say they will ensure a fear-free, fair election, this is taken as sufficient assurance, without supporting data, track record analysis, or external verification.

4 suggestions

Add factual information about concrete measures being planned or implemented (e.g., number of security personnel deployed, specific protocols) rather than relying only on the President’s assurance.

Include historical data on previous elections’ security performance (incidents, complaints, observer reports) to contextualize the President’s claims.

Quote independent election observers, civil society, or human rights organizations to corroborate or question the official assurances.

Explicitly distinguish between what is an official promise or intention and what is verified fact (e.g., use phrases like ‘राष्ट्रपतिका अनुसार’ or ‘उनको दाबी अनुसार’ and then note that independent verification is pending).
