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.
Presenting only the positive or straightforward aspects of a situation while omitting possible challenges, delays, or critical perspectives.
The article only mentions progress and planned completion: - "त्यसमध्ये शुक्रबारसम्म २२ सय मिटर सडक ढलान भैसकेको छ ।" - "दाउन्नेमा भैरहेको कामको जानकारी लियौं र थप १८ सय मिटर क्षेत्रमा सडक ढलानको काम अघि बढ्छ,' सडक विभागका महानिर्देशक डा. जैसीले भने, 'दाउन्नेमा एकतर्फी सडक निर्माणको काम आउँदो जेठसम्म सकिन्छ ।'" - "अन्य क्षेत्रमा एकातर्फी सडक सञ्चालनमा ल्याउनेगरी धमाधम काम भैरहेको छ ।" There is no mention of possible delays, budget issues, environmental or local concerns, or user experience (e.g., traffic problems during construction). This creates a one-dimensional, overly smooth picture of the project.
Add information on any known challenges, delays, or risks to the timeline (e.g., weather, funding, technical difficulties) if available.
Include perspectives from local residents, drivers, or transport operators about the impact of ongoing construction (positive and negative).
Mention the original project schedule and budget, and compare current progress to those benchmarks to give context.
Clarify that the completion date is an estimate or plan (e.g., by adding phrases like "योजना अनुसार" or "अनुमानित रूपमा" if that reflects reality).
Relying mainly on statements from officials or authorities without balancing them with independent or affected-party perspectives.
The article relies almost entirely on official voices and their inspection: - "शुक्रबार दाउन्ने क्षेत्रको सडक अनुगमनमा आएका यातायातमन्त्री माधव चौलागाईसहितको प्राविधिक टोलीले..." - "सडक विभागका महानिर्देशक डा. जैसीले भने, 'दाउन्नेमा एकतर्फी सडक निर्माणको काम आउँदो जेठसम्म सकिन्छ ।'" No independent expert, local resident, or road user is quoted. This can subtly bias the piece toward the official narrative that work is progressing well and on time.
Include at least one quote or comment from local residents, drivers, or transport entrepreneurs about the current condition and impact of the construction.
If possible, add an independent technical or planning expert’s view on whether the stated timeline and progress are realistic.
Explicitly distinguish between verified facts (e.g., completed meters of road) and projections or promises made by officials.
Using wording that subtly frames the situation more positively than a strictly neutral description would.
The phrase: "अन्य क्षेत्रमा एकातर्फी सडक सञ्चालनमा ल्याउनेगरी धमाधम काम भैरहेको छ ।" uses "धमाधम काम भैरहेको छ" which carries a positive, energetic connotation, suggesting very active, satisfactory progress without providing comparative or quantitative evidence.
Replace value-laden terms like "धमाधम" with more neutral descriptions such as "काम भइरहेको छ" or specify measurable indicators (e.g., daily work hours, number of workers, or sections completed per week).
Where possible, support any implication of fast or intense work with data (e.g., "दिनमा कति घण्टा काम भइरहेको छ" or "कति मेसिन/कर्मचारी परिचालनमा छन्").
- 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.
