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
85%
Examples:
- The author appears to have a pro-Trump bias by using the term 'claims' instead of providing evidence for his statement about migrants being flown in from unknown parts. She also cites sources that support curbing immigration and implies that CBP approved secretive flights, which are not accurate.
- The author has a neutral bias by reporting on the Texas judge's ruling that allows them to continue with their border wall plan.
- The author seems to have a pro-Biden bias by focusing on the pressure he is facing regarding border crossings and quoting Blinken and Mayorkas as they press Mexico to reduce migrant flows. She also does not provide any context or evidence for Trump's claim about 325,000 migrants being flown in from unknown parts.
Conflicts of Interest
50%
Examples:
- However, she may benefit from increased traffic and visibility by covering immigration politics and policy for CNN.
- The author does not have any apparent conflicts of interest.
Contradictions
100%
Examples:
- There are no contradictions found in this article.
- This statement is contradicted by the fact that there were parole programs and other legal avenues for migrants to enter the US before Title 42 was implemented.
Deceptions
90%
Examples:
- This article is deceptive because it claims that Trump made a statement about migrants being flown into the US from unknown parts without providing any context or evidence to support this claim. This implies that there was some sort of secret program involved when in fact CBP did not facilitate these flights and the information obtained through a FOIA lawsuit is public.
- This article is deceptive because it misrepresents information obtained through a FOIA lawsuit by stating that CBP approved secretive flights and omitting important details such as who was being flown within or to the United States. This implies that there was some sort of clandestine operation involved when in fact migrants who flew into the US were allowed entry and thoroughly vetted through CBP One.
- This article is deceptive because it misrepresents parole programs by stating that they are secretive when in fact they are publicly available and require sponsors in the US. This implies that there was some sort of hidden program involved when in fact these processes have been used before and keep people from migrating irregularly.
