Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.
Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.
Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes
Sensationalism
Presenting information in a way that is intended to provoke strong emotions or interest
The article uses sensationalism by emphasizing the bitter divorce battle and the judge slashing child support payments. This creates a negative and dramatic tone.
Suggested Changes

Misleading headlines
Using headlines that are designed to grab attention but may not accurately represent the content of the article
The headline 'Kevin Costner Laughs Off Ex Wife’s ‘Outrageous’ Latest Demand' is misleading as it suggests that Kevin Costner is dismissing a significant demand from his ex-wife, but the article does not provide any details about the demand or why it is considered outrageous.
Use a headline that accurately reflects the content of the article and avoids exaggeration.
Cherry-picking data
Selectively choosing data or information that supports a particular viewpoint while ignoring contradictory evidence
The article cherry-picks data by focusing on the judge slashing Kevin Costner's child support payments and Christine Baumgartner's demand for attorney's fees, without providing a balanced view of the overall divorce proceedings.
Provide a more comprehensive and balanced view of the divorce proceedings, including both positive and negative aspects for both parties.
Omission of key information
Leaving out important details or context that could significantly impact the interpretation of the information
The article omits key information about the nature of Christine Baumgartner's demand and the reasons behind the judge's decision to slash child support payments. This omission prevents readers from fully understanding the situation.
Include more details and context to provide a more complete picture of the divorce proceedings and the decisions made by the judge.
Biased language
Using language that favors one side or presents a particular viewpoint as more favorable or credible
The article uses biased language by referring to Christine Baumgartner as a 'greedy gold-digger' and suggesting that Kevin Costner's anger and revenge are causing harm to their children. This language portrays Kevin Costner in a negative light and Christine Baumgartner in a sympathetic light.
Use neutral and objective language that does not favor one side over the other.
Unbalanced reporting
Presenting information in a way that disproportionately favors one side or viewpoint
The article provides more information and quotes from Christine Baumgartner, creating an unbalanced representation of the divorce proceedings.

Appeal to emotion
Using emotional language or anecdotes to manipulate the reader's feelings or opinions
