Cognitive Concepts

3/5

Framing Bias

The article frames the issue of past drug use among Trump's cabinet picks in a way that downplays the severity of the issue, possibly through a selective focus on those who have openly discussed past addictions. This may influence readers' perception and affect their judgment of the nominees' suitability.

2/5

Language Bias

The article uses language that sometimes downplays or normalizes past drug use. While reporting the facts, the word choice and tone can influence the reader's perception and response.

3/5

Bias by Omission

The article focuses heavily on the drug use of Trump's potential cabinet members while downplaying the fact that these are allegations and also potentially omitting the specific context of the past drug use (such as amount, frequency, and circumstances of the use). This is omission because it gives incomplete information.

2/5

False Dichotomy

The article presents a false dichotomy by framing the issue as a choice between ignoring past drug use or making it a major issue, neglecting the possibility of a nuanced approach that considers individual circumstances and context.
