Cognitive Concepts
Language Bias
The language used is largely neutral and descriptive. While terms like "Militärparaden-Gekuschels" (military parade cuddling) carry a slightly negative connotation, it's used within the context of reporting a geopolitical event, and it's not overly charged or inflammatory. Overall, the tone is informative and objective.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses primarily on the opera season's reopening and upcoming performances. It omits details on the financial aspects of the opera houses, the challenges faced during the renovations, or broader discussions of artistic direction. This omission might stem from space constraints and the article's focus on the practical aspects of the season's restart.
