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
  • Biased language

    Using language that conveys a particular bias or opinion, rather than presenting information neutrally.

    The use of words like 'passionately criticized' and 'controversial' suggests a bias towards Whoopi Goldberg's perspective and against the reporter.

    Suggested Changes

    Replace 'passionately criticized' with 'criticized' to remove emotional connotation.

    Use 'reported' instead of 'controversial story' to maintain neutrality.

  • Sensationalism

    The use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement.

    The article's title and the description of the incident with phrases like 'This really pissed me off,' and 'How dare you?' are designed to evoke a strong emotional response from the reader.

    Rephrase the title to be more neutral, such as 'Whoopi Goldberg Criticizes Reporter Over LSU Basketball Comments'.

    Present the quotes in a way that does not amplify the emotional aspect.

  • Appeal to emotion

    Attempting to manipulate an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument.

    Goldberg's comments, such as 'How dare you call them ‘dirty’ anything?' and 'You better make sure that when you have kids, if you have kids, that you apologize to your daughter,' are intended to provoke an emotional response rather than present a reasoned argument.

    Provide additional context for Goldberg's comments to clarify the reasoning behind her criticism.

    Include a more detailed explanation of the original comments made by the reporter to allow readers to understand the basis for Goldberg's emotional response.
