What the model flagged
Analyzed 2026-09-17 04:03 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 92%
The phrase 'war on coal' uses militaristic, emotionally charged language to frame regulatory policy as an act of deliberate destruction — for example: war on coal
“war on coal”
Card Stacking 78%
The quote presents the characterisation of energy policy as destructive without acknowledging any counterarguments or alternative interpretations of the administrations' energy policies — for example: implemented a war on coal to destroy reliable and affordable energy
“implemented a war on coal to destroy reliable and affordable energy”
Name Calling 75%
Attributing a deliberate intent 'to destroy' energy to the Obama and Biden administrations functions as a derogatory label implying malicious motivation rather than policy disagreement — for example: 'implemented a war on coal to destroy reliable and affordable energy'
“implemented a war on coal to destroy reliable and affordable energy”
Exaggeration/hyperbole 80%
Characterising energy regulations as a deliberate campaign 'to destroy' reliable and affordable energy overstates the intent and effect of those policies beyond what evidence supports — for example: 'to destroy reliable and affordable energy'
“to destroy reliable and affordable energy”
Glittering Generalities 75%
The phrase 'fully unleashed' uses vague, emotionally positive language implying liberation and power without specifying what policies or outcomes are actually intended — for example: 'American energy can be fully unleashed'
“American energy can be fully unleashed”
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 →
