2/5

Language Bias

The article uses emotive language such as "tragedy" and "rabia" to elicit sympathy for the officers and their concerns, influencing the reader's emotional response and potentially affecting their judgment.

3/5

Bias by Omission

The article focuses heavily on the union's calls for improved training and safety measures, potentially downplaying other contributing factors to the accident. The lack of information about potential contributing factors from an investigation could be considered an omission.

2/5

False Dichotomy

The article presents a dichotomy between young and old officers' training, implying that only one approach is effective. The reality is likely more nuanced, with a combination of approaches needed.
