The Daily's Verdict
This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.
Bias
83%
Examples:
- The author appears to have a slight bias towards Trump and against Biden. They often describe Trump in positive terms and portray him as the commanding front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. They also present Biden as having solidified his support among Black voters at the ballot box, without providing evidence to support this claim.
- There is also a slight bias against Haley, with some articles presenting her as not being up for the challenge of competing against Trump and suggesting that she will lose to him in the primary race.
Conflicts of Interest
90%
Examples:
- In other articles, they present sources who are biased towards Trump without disclosing their affiliations.
- There are several instances where the author appears to have a conflict of interest. In some articles, they use language that deifies Trump and portrays him as the commanding front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. They also present information in a way that suggests he has influence over the Republican Party and its decision-making processes.
Contradictions
85%
Examples:
- In several articles, contradictions are found in the information provided about voting results. For example, one article states that Trump won less than 10% of the votes in the Bronx in his 2016 presidential election victory, while another states that he won 16% of the votes in his 2020 re-election defeat.
- There are also contradictions regarding Trump's legal bills and whether he will be responsible for paying them. The author presents this information without providing any context or information about how much money he owes or whether he can afford it.
Deceptions
60%
Examples:
- Another article states that Trump made history last year as the first former or current president to be indicted for an alleged crime, but his four indictments, including charges he tried to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss, have only fueled his support among Republican voters. This statement is misleading because it does not provide any context for why this is the case.
- There are a few instances where the author uses deceptive practices in their reporting. For example, one article claims that Haley leads Trump by 2 points among moderate or liberal voters (56%-27%) which could be seen as a positive sign for her campaign but is also misleading because it does not provide any context for how many people fall into this category.
