What the model flagged
⚠️ New York Post has updated this article since we analyzed it. The findings below describe the version we saw on 2026-07-31 — some quoted phrases may no longer appear in the current article.
Analyzed 2026-07-31 18:27 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.
Loaded Language 75%
The quote uses emotionally charged framing — 'blocked efforts' and 'handing tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations' are chosen to trigger resentment rather than neutrally describe policy positions — for example: handing tax breaks to billionaires
“handing tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations”
Plain Folks Appeal 65%
Attempts to convince by presenting the speaker as an ordinary person to gain trust and relatability — for example: working families.
“working families”
Analyzed automatically with Semblen'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 →
