The error that the reporting definition commits is a circular fallacy

Explanation:

A circular fallacy is a logical fallacy where the speaker starts talking about the same thing as the objective at the end and it keeps on going repetitively as an endless circle, this generates unnecessary repetition and it is utterly redundant, the use of the word mayor twice might seem not necessary since the second time will be associated by logical deduction.
