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.
Appeal To Fear 65%
The phrase 'raises military ballot fears' invokes anxiety about threats to military votes to provoke an emotional response — for example: military ballot fears
“raises military ballot fears”
Loaded Language 75%
The word 'attacks' is used to describe policy actions, carrying strong emotional charge implying aggression and hostility rather than neutral policy disagreement — for example: continued attacks
“The continued attacks that we're seeing from the Trump administration”
