Findings may include language that is quoted rather than the speaker's own, and the model over-reads ceremonial language (tributes, anniversaries) as persuasion. Check each finding against the original.
Loaded Language 85%
The term 'illegal aliens' is an emotionally charged label used to dehumanize undocumented migrants rather than using neutral terminology — for example: illegal aliens
“illegal aliens”
Scapegoating 72%
The framing links the presence of undocumented migrants directly to a tragic death, implying that smuggling of 'illegal aliens' is the root cause of the harm, which can be used to blame an entire group for a specific criminal act — for example: smuggling 11 illegal aliens into the country when he caused the fatal crash
“smuggling 11 illegal aliens into the country when he caused the fatal crash that killed a grandmother and her 7-year-old granddaughter”
Name Calling 94%
Derogatory labels used to discredit a person or group rather than address their arguments.
