Cognitive Concepts

2/5

Framing Bias

The framing is largely positive, focusing on the successful relaunch of the NAC supporters' section. While the initial failure is mentioned, the emphasis is on the improvements made and the positive response from supporters. This positive framing might downplay any potential ongoing concerns or challenges.

1/5

Language Bias

The language used is generally neutral and objective. While words like "bijzondere" (special) and "trouwe" (loyal) carry some positive connotations, they are appropriate within the context of a celebratory story. No loaded language or charged terminology is detected.
