SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYWIS is an established local television news outlet with a regional reporting operation. The article identifies its newsroom as the author but provides little sourcing beyond the event details.
- Source type — Established local-news broadcaster with regional coverage.
- Editorial standards — The page presents a straightforward local news explainer, though it provides limited detail about reporting or verification.

The brief article gives clear logistical details and identifies participants, but offers little sourcing, context about the debate’s format, or discussion of the candidates’ positions.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article identifies the participating candidates and notes the candidate who will not take part. It is a short event notice rather than a substantive comparison of the candidates.
- Source diversity — Lists candidates and the organizer but includes no independent voices or candidate statements.
- Omitted context — Does not explain the debate format or compare candidates’ positions, although those details are outside its narrow logistical focus.
- Loaded language — No notable loaded language or partisan framing.
The article uses neutral, logistical language to report who will participate and how viewers can watch; it does not promote a candidate or political position.
- Language tone — Factual and neutral wording.
- Framing — Organized as an informational guide to the debate.
- Source selection — Names the candidates and event organizer without persuasive commentary.
Three South Carolina Senate candidates—Annie Andrews, Darline Graham and Kasie Whitener—are scheduled to debate Sunday at 7 p.m. The article also notes that Mark Hackett is running but will not participate.
