Sensationalism [9/10]: The headline uses the phrase 'at risk of being cancelled' and references 'gang rape' and 'racial hate crimes' in a way that amplifies controversy rather than neutrally summarizing the issue, likely to provoke outrage and clicks.

Omission [9/10]: The article fails to provide historical or cultural context for Haye’s 2007 Rodney King analogy, such as public discourse at the time or whether he faced consequences, leaving readers without tools to assess intent or impact.

"I’m going to travel to his back garden and beat Mormeck like Rodney King!"

Misleading Context [8/10]: The 'gang rape' quote is presented as evidence of current controversy without clarifying that it was made in 2010 and previously widely condemned, potentially misleading readers about its recency or novelty.

"Amid the furore, a video of David from 2010 in which he refused to apologise for claiming his fight with Audley Harrison will be as 'one-sided as a gang rape', has gone viral."

Selective Coverage [7/10]: The article focuses exclusively on Haye’s most offensive quotes without acknowledging any evolution in his public behaviour or statements, such as AI monitoring claims, suggesting a narrative-driven selection.

"It was previously alleged that David has turned to artificial intelligence to check all his speeches and social media posts for any offensive language."
