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

86%

Examples:

  • The article mentions how Larry David, who created and starred in Curb Your Enthusiasm, was not particularly excited about any of his adventures or developments. This could be seen as a commentary on the show’s lack of political or social relevance.
  • The author shows a clear bias towards the film, praising its direction, acting, and historical accuracy.
  • The author uses language that dehumanizes people based on their beliefs or actions. For example, when discussing Larry David’s shouting matches with Susie Essman, he describes her as “a bald motherfucker”. This could be seen as a form of religious bias.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • ]IF[ received $10.3 million on opening day and preview screenings in one article, but the article does not provide the exact figure for the opening day earnings in another article.
  • The movie explores Bea’s journey to find adventure and playfulness after moving back to her grandmother’s apartment in Brooklyn Heights as stated in the first article, but the second article does not mention this detail.
  • The movie titled ‘IF’ features Phoebe Waller-Bridge as an Art Deco Minnie Mouse named Blossom and Steve Carell as a fuzzy, bulbous character named Blue according to one article, but another article mentions that Ryan Reynolds plays Cal, an adult man who can also see imaginary friends.

Deceptions

46%

Examples:

  • The article quotes Billy Baldwin saying that he has so much dirt on Sharon Stone that it would make her head spin. This statement is deceptive because it creates a sense of urgency around Stone’s claims without providing any evidence to support them.
  • The article quotes Billy Baldwin saying that Sharon Stone has kept talking about him for years later despite his alleged affair with her being a long time ago. This statement is deceptive because it implies that Stone’s claims are false and she should stop talking about the incident, when in fact there may be evidence to support them.
