Analyzed 2026-08-20 04:00 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.

“The pillow salesman, Trump supporter and election denier Mike Lindell”
Loaded Language 85%
Emotionally charged words chosen to trigger a reaction rather than convey facts.
Conspiracy Appeal 96%
Hidden plots, secret coordination, or shadowy actors invoked to explain away evidence.
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 →
