Framing Bias
The article frames the story as a heartwarming romantic gesture with a focus on the couple's happiness and the excitement of the proposal. It avoids potentially critical elements, which creates a mostly positive framing.
Language Bias
The language used is generally neutral but emphasizes the positive emotions involved. Words like "erupted," "ecstatic," and "very, very happy" are used to highlight the positive aspects, potentially downplaying any less enthusiastic reactions.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on the positive aspects of the proposal, omitting potential negative elements such as the disruption to the game or other fans' reactions that may not be entirely positive. It might not have captured all aspects of the crowd's reaction, only mentioning the "eruption".
