I need to find five fallacies of language out of these 7 (equivocation, amphiboly, abuse of vagueness,weasel words,faulty classification, rhetorical question and or euphemism)
I find this very difficult to do and it makes no sense to me. So I am asking if someone knows the best section of a newspaper where I could find these fallacies of language? The book I have for school is very poor in explaination and examples and I am doing my best to make sense of this stuff that I will never use in my life at least in this format. Thanks!

Here is an itemized list of where the best places would be for each type of fallacy:
Equivocation: any article
Amphiboly: Classified
Abuse of vagueness: any article
Weasel words: political section
Faulty classification: advertisements
Rhetorical question: editorials or even front page articles

The best section would be the political and/or opinions section basically because these are all found in politics most of the time. It's kind of vague but I hope it helps!

Find 3 newspaper or internet article on the same subject and show how the information is distorted to prevent their view instead of the whole/unbiased view.
