DOJ Indicts Southern Poverty Law Center for Secretly Funding Extremists

The article opens with an inflammatory accusation from a DOJ official without contextual framing, fact-checking, or presentation of the SPLC's response. The headline uses loaded language ('secretly,' 'extremists') that presumes guilt. No academic, independent, or counterargument sources are presented to balance the government claim. The sourcing is entirely government-centric, centering an accusation rather than investigation or evidence.
