Question

when the news gives you facts but misrepresents those facts:

b. emotional appeal

c. distorting facts

Explanation:

The question describes a scenario where facts are presented but misrepresented. Option c directly matches this description: "Distorting facts" means altering or misrepresenting facts. The other options do not fit: emotional bias is a personal prejudice, emotional appeal uses feelings to persuade, and checking for credibility is an action to verify trustworthiness, not the act of mispresenting facts.
