What the model flagged

Analyzed 2026-09-19 04:00 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 capitalized words 'FICTION' and 'LIES' are emotionally charged terms designed to trigger outrage and delegitimize media coverage rather than address specific factual disputes — for example: 'FICTION and LIES'

“FICTION and LIES”

Name Calling 95%

The label 'Fake News Media' is a derogatory blanket term used to discredit media outlets without addressing any specific reporting or argument — for example: 'Fake News Media Outlets'

“Fake News Media Outlets”

Appeal To Fear 75%

The phrase 'to follow' implies further punitive action against media outlets, creating a threatening atmosphere intended to intimidate press organizations — for example: 'Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow'

“Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow”

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 →
