What the model flagged

Analyzed 2026-11-07 09:33 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%

“SANCTUARY INSANITY”
“Illegal Alien”

Name Calling 60%

Labels officials 'Sanctuary Politicians' as a derogatory tag to discredit them rather than engage their policies.

“New York Sanctuary Politicians”

Appeal to Fear 55%

Highlights a single violent-crime case with an implied threat of danger from released immigrants.

“Release Illegal Alien Convicted of Robbery and Assault”

Exaggeration/Hyperbole 55%

Overstates the executive order's effect as turning the whole city into a shield for violent offenders.

“turning New York City into a shield for violent criminal illegal aliens”

Card Stacking 55%

Scapegoating 50%

Attributes crimes broadly to a group defined by immigration status, implying the group as a whole causes crime.

“the crimes committed by illegal aliens in New York”

Appeal to Prejudice 60%

Sets 'illegal aliens' against 'American citizens' and presents the immigrant group as a threat defined by status.

“terrorize American citizens”
