My general rule about news articles is a little poop spoils the whole stew.
If anything in the article contradicts previously accepted facts, that better be backed by copious research and evidence to convince us that the previously accepted facts might be wrong, or the whole article is thrown out.
If any fact in the article is distorted, or presented without needed context, with the intent to sensationalize or persuade, that is an opinion article, not a news article. It is taken under consideration but may or may not change our minds. Opinions are fine but news is better.
It is hard to write articles that stick to the straight and narrow of a balanced presentation of facts about US politics. There are only a few places that consistently do it well.
