Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The article's framing heavily favors Arsenal's victory. The headline is implied through the title and the opening paragraph immediately highlights Arsenal's win and Jurrien Timber's performance. The detailed account of Arsenal's match, including player-specific details and even the age of a substitute, contrasts sharply with the brief summaries of other games. This prioritization creates a narrative that emphasizes Arsenal's success disproportionately compared to other matches.
Language Bias
While generally neutral, the article uses positive language to describe Arsenal's win, such as "eenvoudig" (easily) and "feestavond" (festive evening). For a more neutral tone, these could be replaced with more descriptive phrases like "decisive victory" and "successful match". The description of Timber's second goal as a "frommelgoal" (scrambling goal) might be interpreted negatively, although it accurately reflects the nature of the goal.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on Arsenal's victory and briefly mentions other Premier League matches. While it mentions the Tottenham vs. Manchester City match, the analysis is limited, lacking detailed insights into the game's strategy or performance. Similarly, the descriptions of other matches are very concise, omitting potentially relevant details. The focus on the Dutch players across several teams feels arbitrary and detracts from a comprehensive analysis of the Premier League matches. This omission of broader context limits the reader's understanding of the overall Premier League landscape.
