A technique isn’t a falsehood: accurate writing uses them too. About wording, sourcing and context, not whether it’s true or which side is right. How we check

This article's sourcing is heavily dominated by one individual perspective (Zacharia), who accounts for 5 of 7 attributions. Only two other speakers (Finnerty and Hannity) are quoted. The article presents primarily one viewpoint regarding Fox News' treatment of Zacharia, with no counterbalancing statements from Fox News officials, Hannity's team (beyond one brief quote), or independent analysts. There is a significant lack of perspective diversity.

Analyzed 2026-10-28 04:04 UTC. Articles are sometimes updated after publication — if a quote here isn't in the current version, the piece has changed since.

Analyzed automatically with Semblen's fine-tuned model. These are rhetorical techniques, not political tilt — and finding one is not a claim that the article is false. Findings include language the outlet is quoting rather than asserting: we flag techniques wherever they appear, so check each quote against the original. 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 →
