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:

  • At times, the absence of a uniting goal allows Storer and co-showrunner Joanna Calo to continue adding texture to the monotony of restaurant life...
  • Yet maintenance and longevity are less compelling incentives than crossing the finish line of construction.

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • The absence of a fixed destination allows for added texture to the monotony of restaurant life but also results in repetition and stunt casting.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • At times, the absence of a uniting goal allows Storer and co-showrunner Joanna Calo to continue adding texture to the monotony of restaurant life.
  • But not all detours this season are as effective, and without a fixed destination, the main narrative itself can get bogged down with repetition and stunt casting before the season ends with most storylines unresolved.
  • The second, much-improved season of The Bear was defined by a sense of momentum...
  • Yet maintenance and longevity are less compelling incentives than crossing the finish line of construction.
