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

Conflicts of Interest

95%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

88%

Examples:

  • Horizon: An American Saga is facing financial risks due to its high production cost and uncertain audience turnout for each chapter.
  • The first chapter of the movie, 'Chapter 1', had an opening weekend box office return of $11 million with a total price tag of $100 million.

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • I bring all this up because Unfrosted treats the origin story of the Pop-Tart with such a derisive, backhand flippancy that it's not at all clear what Jerry and his team of screenwriter-producers actually think of the Pop-Tart. Is the movie a goof because they're making fun of what a mediocre product it was? Perhaps.
  • The entire movie is a put-on, a wackazoid tall tale, a comedy that uses the breakfast wars as the jumping-off point for a high-camp exercise in nostalgic lunacy.
