What the model flagged
Analyzed 2026-10-09 15:00 UTC.
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 word 'illegals' is a dehumanizing label used to provoke an emotional reaction rather than neutrally describe undocumented individuals — for example: 'illegals'
“258 illegals that are wanted for murder charges”
Appeal to Fear 85%
Citing 258 people wanted for murder charges in New York alone is designed to create fear and anxiety about public safety — for example: '258 illegals that are wanted for murder charges, just in New York alone'
“258 illegals that are wanted for murder charges, just in New York alone”
Name Calling 94%
Derogatory labels used to discredit a person or group rather than address their arguments.
Repetition 75%
'I spoke to the mayor' is repeated verbatim from sentence 6, reinforcing the speaker's engagement and implicitly the mayor's uncooperativeness — for example: 'I spoke to the mayor'
“I spoke to the mayor”
