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

60%

Examples:

  • Eddie Makuch tends to report on news without considering any statements from anyone else other than himself. He only reports what he finds without providing any context or comparison with other games that have done similar things before, which could mislead readers into thinking that his sources are unbiased and not part of a larger agenda.
  • The author uses language that dehumanizes and demonizes those who hold different political views than himself, such as referring to white supremacists as “immediately celebrating”. This is not accurate or fair.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Eddie Makuch mainly writes news and has a history of reporting on topics related to gaming companies such as Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. This could create a potential conflict of interest when reporting on these companies as he may be more likely to report favorably on them.
  • The author does not consider any statements from anyone else other than himself. He only reports what he finds without providing any context or comparison with other games that have done similar things before, which could mislead readers into thinking that his sources are unbiased and not part of a larger agenda.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Slay the Spire 2 is a sequel to the popular game that fans have been calling for, with an expected release through Steam Early Access in 2025. This contradicts the article’s claim that it is a new chapter in the Fallout TV series and not based on reliable evidence.
  • The article implies that Xbox Game Pass is responsible for the success of games like The Touryst, but it does not cite any data or studies to support this claim.
  • The author implies that exploring the past is a new feature of the Fallout TV show, but it does not cite any peer-reviewed studies or pre-prints for the science and health articles that it references. This could mean that they are not based on reliable evidence and may be biased in favor of Bethesda.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The article implies that exploring the past is a new feature of the Fallout TV show, but it does not cite any peer-reviewed studies or pre-prints for the science and health articles that it references. This could mean that they are not based on reliable evidence and may be biased in favor of Bethesda.
  • The article uses selective reporting by only focusing on what Todd Howard said about exploring the past and how it is a new chapter in the Fallout series, without providing any context or comparison with other games that have done similar things before. This could mislead readers into thinking that this is something unique and innovative when in fact many other games have done similar things before, such as Assassin’s Creed or Uncharted.
