  I think maybe you don’t know what ‘weasel words’ mean.

  The passage does not contain significant weasel words. It acknowledges uncertainty explicitly with phrases like “I may be wrong,” “I would guess,” and “I assume,” which actually counteract weasel wording by qualifying claims. The author distinguishes between fact and opinion, admits lack of knowledge about the individual, and provides a source for a factual claim about social media as a news source. Overall, the language is transparent about uncertainty rather than using vague or evasive phrasing to appear more confident than warranted.
