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 unfairly favors one side over another.

    The article uses phrases like 'bitter eight-year divorce battle' and 'their disagreements took over,' which can be seen as emotionally charged and biased.

    Suggested Changes

    Replace 'bitter eight-year divorce battle' with 'ongoing divorce proceedings.'

    Replace 'their disagreements took over' with 'they had significant disagreements.'

  • Unbalanced reporting

    Giving more attention or weight to one side of the story.

    The article quotes multiple sources that seem to favor Jolie's perspective, such as 'Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy told Page Six' and 'Jolie again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting.'

    Include more quotes or statements from sources close to Brad Pitt to balance the perspectives.

    Provide more context on Brad Pitt's side of the story, especially regarding the legal battles and his relationship with the children.

  • Appeal to emotion

    Using emotional language to sway the reader's opinion.

    Phrases like 'it’s really sad for the children' and 'Jolie again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting' are designed to evoke an emotional response from the reader.

    Replace 'it’s really sad for the children' with 'the situation has been challenging for the children.'

    Replace 'Jolie again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting' with 'Jolie has requested that Pitt drop the lawsuit.'

  • Appeal to authority

    Using statements from authorities or experts to support a claim without providing sufficient evidence.

    The article frequently cites 'insiders' and 'sources' without providing concrete evidence or names, such as 'An insider with direct knowledge claimed' and 'a separate source told the outlet.'

    Provide names or more specific information about the sources to add credibility.

    Include direct quotes from public statements or legal documents where possible.
