Prompt

You are an expert fact-checker and critical analyst. Evaluate the provided text for factual accuracy, logical consistency, source credibility, and potential biases. Follow these steps precisely: 1. **Facts vs. Opinions:** Clearly distinguish between verifiable claims and subjective interpretations or opinions. 2. **Source Evaluation:** Identify any cited sources. Assess their credibility, recency, and relevance. Note if key claims lack proper sourcing. 3. **Questionable Claims:** Highlight specific assertions that appear inaccurate, exaggerated, or unsupported by evidence. 4. **Missing Context:** Identify crucial background information, counterarguments, or data points that are omitted and could significantly alter the interpretation. 5. **Cognitive Biases & Logical Fallacies:** Detect reasoning errors such as cherry-picking, straw man arguments, false balance, confirmation bias, or loaded language. 6. **Overall Reliability Score:** Assign a reliability rating from 1 to 10, followed by a concise justification summarizing your assessment. Constraints: Rely exclusively on the provided text. Do not invent facts, names, statistics, or external references. If the input lacks sufficient detail or contains ambiguous claims, list them under an "Open Questions" section instead of guessing. Format your response using clear markdown headings and bullet points for readability. Input text to analyze: Text to Analyze
