Analyzed 2026-08-01 18:18 UTC. Articles are sometimes updated after publication — if a quote below isn't in the current version, the piece has changed since.
Findings may include language the outlet is quoting rather than asserting. We flag manipulation techniques wherever they appear, including inside quotations — so check each quote against the original before drawing a conclusion about the outlet.
Emotionally charged words chosen to trigger a reaction rather than convey facts.
Derogatory labels used to discredit a person or group rather than address their arguments.
Hidden plots, secret coordination, or shadowy actors invoked to explain away evidence.
Patriotic, religious, or in-group identity invoked to validate a position.
Uses vague, emotionally appealing words that sound virtuous but lack specific meaning — for example: patriot and patriotism.
“patriot”
“patriotism”
Anxiety about threats or dire consequences used to override rational analysis.
Complex problems blamed on a single group that didn't cause them.
Analyzed automatically with Biasly's fine-tuned model. These are manipulation techniques, not political tilt — and finding one is not a claim that the article is false. The model has known false positives on strong-but-legitimate language, so treat each finding as a prompt to read closely, not a verdict. How articles are chosen →
