Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The article emphasizes the success of Dutch skaters, particularly Stolz's impressive win and record-breaking performance. The headline highlights Stolz's victory. The detailed descriptions of the Dutch skaters' races and quotes from Snellink, a Dutch skater, contribute to a framing that prioritizes the Dutch perspective. This is further emphasized by mentioning Stolz's hometown in relation to the race location.
Language Bias
The language used is largely neutral, reporting the facts of the race. However, Snellink's quote using the word "bedrog" (which translates to deceit or fraud) might be considered loaded language, expressing strong negative emotion about the wind's impact on the race. A more neutral phrasing would focus on the impact without the strong emotional connotations.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on the performance of Dutch skaters, particularly Stolz, De Boo, and Nuis. While other skaters are mentioned, their performances are given less detail. The lack of in-depth analysis of non-Dutch skaters' experiences could be considered a bias by omission, particularly if their performances were noteworthy. The impact of the wind on the race times is mentioned, but a broader discussion of how this might affect the overall competition or create inequities is missing.
