The consumer treats evidence that the Connorly Report is biased as evidence that their claim about Ocksenfrey meals is false. He doesn’t provide any evidence that Ocksenfrey meals are actually nutritious. It’s possible they do lack nutrition, even if the report is biased.

This is the cookie-cutter flaw of using an unrepresentative sample. The consumer’s conclusion is about all Ocksenfrey prepackaged meals, and he doesn't mention samples at all. So we can’t know if his conclusion is based on an unrepresentative sample or not.

The consumer’s conclusion is that Ocksenfrey meals are nutritious. Whether Ocksenfrey has motivation to create negative publicity for Danto doesn’t affect this conclusion, nor does it affect the claim that Danto’s reporting is biased.

The consumer concludes that Ocksenfrey meals are nutritious; he doesn’t need to prove that they’re more nutritious than Danto meals. Even if Danto meals were more nutritious, it wouldn’t affect the conclusion or the claim that Danto’s report is biased.

The consumer doesn't presume this. All we know is that Danto’s PR department did approve a draft of a report that was hostile to, or at least negative to, Ocksenfrey meals. Whether they’d also approve a draft that was hostile to Danto’s own products is irrelevant.
