- Loaded language — Strong characterizations appear in quoted remarks and are attributed to their speakers.
The report presents Crockett’s accusations and Vance’s remark through attributed statements, without clear authorial endorsement. The headline foregrounds Crockett’s charge, but the article itself reads as a brief account of the exchange.
