Cognitive Concepts

1/5

Framing Bias

The framing is generally neutral, presenting both sides of the story. While the initial focus is on Regensburg's near-miss, the article also highlights Cologne's dominance and late goals. The use of quotes from both coaches provides balance. However, the headline could be improved to be less emotionally charged. A more neutral headline focusing on the close match would reduce potential bias.

1/5

Language Bias

The language used is largely neutral and factual. Terms like "irrational" could be considered slightly loaded but do not significantly skew the narrative. Replacing "irrational" with "unexpected" would improve neutrality.

2/5

Bias by Omission

The report focuses heavily on the game's events and the reactions of the coaches, but lacks details about the individual players' performances beyond a few mentions. While this might be due to space constraints, more granular analysis of player contributions (both positive and negative) from both teams would provide a more complete picture. The lack of detailed tactical analysis also limits the depth of understanding.
