Faced with the backlash the Guardian quickly and very quietly rowed back its initial certainty that its story was based on verified factsInstead it amended the text without acknowledging it had done so to attribute the claims to unnamed and uncheckable sources

Doubt fallacy

You are a propaganda techniques classifier and fallacies detector indetifying 10 propaganda techniques within news paper articles. Here is some context about the 10 fallacies. An argument has 2 parts: Claim: The statement expressing what the arguer is trying to persuade others to accept, whether or not it actually is true. Evidence: The statements that the arguer (or other participants in the debate) provide to show that the claim is true. The evidence answers the question, “Why do you believe [the claim] to be true?” The claim and evidence might appear in any order. A fallacy is an argument where the evidence does not support the claim. - An appeal to authority fallacy (also known as argument from authority fallacy, argumentum ad verecundiam) is an argument in which an arguer asserts that something is good or bad based on the opinion of an authority on a topic. It is a fallacy because the primary premise is that "this is right because so-and-so said that". If an arguer adds further some facts to support the opinion of the authority, then it is no longer a fallacy. Keep in mind that providing supporting evidence makes the argument non-fallacious, it does not matter if the arguer is right or wrong. Note that the authority can be relevant (eg: quoting a doctor's opinion on a medical issue) but, if there is no fact or evidence to supplement what the authority says, it will still be a fallacy. - A black or white fallacy (also called false dilemma fallacy, false dichotomy fallacy, fallacy of bifurcation) is an argument in which an arguer wrongly limits the conclusion to only one of few (usually two), often extreme, possibilities and refuses to acknowledge that there could be more possibilities. Of course there are cases with only two possibilities, and if the arguer lists out all of them, then it is not considered a fallacy. - A causal oversimplification fallacy is assuming a single cause or reason when there are actually multiple causes for an issue. It includes transferring blame to one person or group of people without investigating the complexities of the issue - An appeal to fear is a fallacy when a person seeks to build support for an idea by instilling anxiety and panic in the population towards an alternative. In some cases the support is built based on preconceived judgements. - A Name calling/labeling is a fallacy when labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as either something the target audience fears, hates, finds undesirable or loves, praises. - A Loaded Language is a fallacy when using specific words and phrases with strong emotional implications (either positive or negative) to influence an audience. - An Exaggeration/Minimisation fallacy is when either representing something in an excessive manner: making things larger, better, worse (e.g., "the best of the best", "quality guaranteed") or making something seem less important or smaller than it really is (e.g., saying that an insult was just a joke). - A Flag Waving fallacy is when playing on strong national feeling (or to any group; e.g., race, gender, political preference) to justify or promote an action or idea - A Doubt is a fallacy when questioning the credibility of someone or something. - A Slongs is a brief and striking phrase that may include labeling and stereotyping. Slogans tend to act as emotional appeals. What fallacy/technique is used in this sentence

The Guardians latest story provides a supposedly stronger foundation for an existing narrative that Assange and Wikileaks knowingly published emails hacked by Russia from the Democratic partys serversIn truth there is no public evidence that the emails were hacked or that Russia was involvedCentral actors have suggested instead that the emails were leaked from within the Democratic party

You are a propaganda techniques classifier and fallacies detector indetifying 10 propaganda techniques within news paper articles. Here is some context about the 10 fallacies. An argument has 2 parts: Claim: The statement expressing what the arguer is trying to persuade others to accept, whether or not it actually is true. Evidence: The statements that the arguer (or other participants in the debate) provide to show that the claim is true. The evidence answers the question, “Why do you believe [the claim] to be true?” The claim and evidence might appear in any order. A fallacy is an argument where the evidence does not support the claim. - An appeal to authority fallacy (also known as argument from authority fallacy, argumentum ad verecundiam) is an argument in which an arguer asserts that something is good or bad based on the opinion of an authority on a topic.

If an arguer adds further some facts to support the opinion of the authority, then it is no longer a fallacy. Keep in mind that providing supporting evidence makes the argument non-fallacious, it does not matter if the arguer is right or wrong. Note that the authority can be relevant (eg: quoting a doctor's opinion on a medical issue) but, if there is no fact or evidence to supplement what the authority says, it will still be a fallacy. - A black or white fallacy (also called false dilemma fallacy, false dichotomy fallacy, fallacy of bifurcation) is an argument in which an arguer wrongly limits the conclusion to only one of few (usually two), often extreme, possibilities and refuses to acknowledge that there could be more possibilities. Of course there are cases with only two possibilities, and if the arguer lists out all of them, then it is not considered a fallacy. - A causal oversimplification fallacy is assuming a single cause or reason when there are actually multiple causes for an issue. It includes transferring blame to one person or group of people without investigating the complexities of the issue - An appeal to fear is a fallacy when a person seeks to build support for an idea by instilling anxiety and panic in the population towards an alternative. In some cases the support is built based on preconceived judgements. - A Name calling/labeling is a fallacy when labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as either something the target audience fears, hates, finds undesirable or loves, praises. - A Loaded Language is a fallacy when using specific words and phrases with strong emotional implications (either positive or negative) to influence an audience. - An Exaggeration/Minimisation fallacy is when either representing something in an excessive manner: making things larger, better, worse (e.g., "the best of the best", "quality guaranteed") or making something seem less important or smaller than it really is (e.g., saying that an insult was just a joke). - A Flag Waving fallacy is when playing on strong national feeling (or to any group; e.g., race, gender, political preference) to justify or promote an action or idea - A Doubt is a fallacy when questioning the credibility of someone or something. - A Slongs is a brief and striking phrase that may include labeling and stereotyping.
