What the model flagged

⚠️ Mother Jones 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 18:44 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 84%

Emotionally charged words chosen to trigger a reaction rather than convey facts.

Appeal To Prejudice 75%

The phrase 'red-state attorneys general' invokes a geographic/political in-group vs. out-group framing, implying that being from a 'red state' is itself a mark against the officials — for example: red-state attorneys general

“red-state attorneys general”

Name Calling 85%

The term 'conservative extremists' is a derogatory label used to discredit opponents rather than engage with their arguments — for example: conservative extremists

“trolling conservative extremists”

Conspiracy Appeal 95%

Hidden plots, secret coordination, or shadowy actors invoked to explain away evidence.

Appeal To Fear 80%

Creates anxiety and fear to influence decisions rather than using logical reasoning

Card Stacking 80%

The sentence presents the author's characterization of the evidence as settled ('decades of evidence to the contrary') while dismissing all contrary claims as fabricated, without acknowledging any legitimate debate — for example: 'Despite decades of evidence to the contrary, they insist mifepristone is unsafe'

“Despite decades of evidence to the contrary, they insist mifepristone is unsafe”

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 →
