Analyzed 2026-09-09 04:11 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 95%
The phrase 'fueling the opioid epidemic' uses emotionally charged language to trigger a strong negative reaction rather than convey neutral facts — for example: fueling the opioid epidemic
“fueling the opioid epidemic”
Exaggeration/hyperbole 85%
The claim that Warmington is 'completely disqualified' is an absolute overstatement used to foreclose any nuanced evaluation of her record — for example: completely disqualified from being governor
“completely disqualified from being governor”
Appeal To Prejudice 75%
Invoking 'New Hampshire families' as the in-group being harmed by Warmington exploits local identity and community loyalty to stoke opposition — for example: protecting New Hampshire families
“protecting New Hampshire families”
Appeal To Fear 75%
The sentence lists multiple cost pressures to create anxiety about economic hardship affecting everyday life — for example: 'prices of houses, groceries, electricity and property taxes are crushing working families'
“prices of houses, groceries, electricity and property taxes are crushing working families”
Name Calling 70%
Kelly Ayotte is directly blamed for making life more expensive without substantive evidence, functioning as a discrediting label — for example: 'Kelly Ayotte is making your life more expensive'
“Kelly Ayotte is making your life more expensive”
Scapegoating 75%
A single individual is blamed for complex, broad economic problems affecting many people — for example: 'Kelly Ayotte is making your life more expensive'
“Kelly Ayotte is making your life more expensive”
Glittering Generalities 70%
The phrase 'we can do better' is vague and emotionally positive but carries no specific policy meaning — for example: 'I know we can do better'
“we can do better”
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 →
