Evaluate the drafted changes
It looks as though the original article is missing the key founders of this theory so your choice to add this was a good one, it just needs to be expanded upon a bit more. The examples that the article explains are worded poorly and need to be edited to stay neutral. I like that you plan on adding more information to this section in general with your current research findings, especially on gender bias and fake news. I also really like the comparison to confirmation bias. The three different mechanisms are also important to this theory but I think the explanation of the first two could be clearer.
