Cognitive Concepts

3/5

Framing Bias

The article frames the investigation as a quest to uncover a long-hidden truth, which might influence the reader to view the evidence as more conclusive than it might actually be. The focus on a mysterious third man creates suspense and suggests a more complex conspiracy than may actually exist.

2/5

Language Bias

The article uses strong language such as "cementato" ("cemented"), "rigurgito" ("regurgitation"), and "maghetti" ("magicians"), which may evoke strong emotional responses in readers, especially those with pre-existing biases about neo-fascist groups or terrorism.

3/5

Bias by Omission

The article focuses heavily on the alleged involvement of a larger group and downplays any counterarguments or alternative theories that may exist regarding the massacre. This may cause the reader to focus solely on the alleged involvement of the broader group.

2/5

False Dichotomy

The article presents a dichotomy between the two known perpetrators and the existence of a "third man" or larger group, potentially overlooking the possibility of other explanations or levels of involvement.
