Fallacies in State of the Union Article

Two fallacies that I quickly noticed in this article were one-sidedness and loaded words. In the article, Gregg Re reports on President Trump’s State of the Union Address that just occurred. He is clearly biased favoring Republicans and attacking Democrats, which makes the article one-sided. Although one-sidedness isn’t always a fallacy, it is in this case. Instead of objectively reporting on what the president said in his speech, he focuses on praising the president and attacking Democrats in attendance. After mentioning literally any quote from the speech, Re includes a sentence like, “Drawing some audible murmurs of disapproval from Democrats in the chamber.” Additionally, this article is filled with a lot of loaded words. There are several instances of loaded language throughout the article, but one in particular is when he refers to the president’s impeachment by calling it “a fight virtually certain to end with Trump's overwhelming acquittal on Wednesday.” The words “fight,” “virtually certain,” and “overwhelming” suggest that the whole impeachment and resistance to Trump are ridiculous and will not amount to anything. Overall, the article is clearly one-sided, as many political articles are, and it is also full of loaded language used to further try to persuade readers to believe what he's saying.
