• Uses a loaded wordA word in the outlet's own voice that carries a verdict the facts in the article do not.17%2 of 12
• Drops what it reported beforeThe outlet or the reporter reported a fact or a description of the same event earlier and now leaves it out or softens it, so a reader of this article believes something the outlet's own reporting contradicts. Not repeating background totals is not this technique.8%1 of 12
