What the model flagged

Analyzed 2026-08-05 04:02 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.

Glittering Generalities 75%

Vague, emotionally positive phrases are used to sound noble and appealing without specifying concrete policies or plans — for example: 'a government that works for all of us'

“costs down, wages up, rights protected and a government that works for all of us”

Loaded Language 75%

The word 'corruption' is emotionally charged and used to frame Washington broadly as corrupt without specific evidence — for example: 'take on corruption in Washington'

“take on corruption in Washington”

Flag-Waving 92%

Patriotic, religious, or in-group identity invoked to validate a position.

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 →
