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

88%

Examples:

  • The article seems to lean towards the side of the boycotting artists, portraying them in a sympathetic light.
  • The article shows a tendency to present the concerns of a group called United Jewish Writers in a sympathetic light regarding the exhibit at the Academy Museum.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The article does not disclose who owns the LLC that bought the campus through Laurene Powell Jobs.

Contradictions

87%

Examples:

  • The article states that Laurene Powell Jobs has bought the campus through a limited liability company, but it does not disclose who owns this LLC. This is an example of deception by omission.
  • The exhibit received criticism for using words like 'tyrant', 'oppressive', 'womanizer' and 'predator' in its wall text, which were perceived as antisemitic. The museum plans to make changes to the exhibition 'Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital' in response to the concerns.

Deceptions

77%

Examples:

  • The article states that Laurene Powell Jobs has bought the campus through a limited liability company, but it does not disclose who owns this LLC. This is an example of deception by omission.
  • The despicable double standard of the Jewish Founders exhibit, blaming only the Jews for that problematic past, is unacceptable and, whether intentional or not, antisemitic.
