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

90%

Examples:

  • Donald Trump remains focused on President Biden, calling him a dictator and a threat to democracy.

Conflicts of Interest

85%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that Trump called the congressional committee that investigated Jan 6 ‘fake’ and drew boos when he mentioned former Representative Liz Cheney. This statement implies that there was some sort of investigation into Jan 6, but it is not clear what this investigation entailed or if it had any merit.
  • The article mentions Trump riffing on the Civil War at his rally in Newton and muses ‘There was something that could have been negotiated.’ This statement implies that there were negotiations between the two sides during the Civil War, which is not accurate. It also creates a false impression of Trump being knowledgeable about history when he clearly has no understanding of it.

Contradictions

97%

Examples:

  • He will face Senator Jacky Rosen in the general election.
  • Jeff Gunter attacked Brown on airwaves and sought an endorsement from Trump but was unsuccessful.
  • Sam Brown won the Nevada Republican primary for Senate.
  • Trump endorsed Brown, who is viewed as a more appealing option for general election voters by the Republican establishment.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that Trump attacked Biden, the Department of Justice and the F.B.I., accusing his opponents of having ‘weaponized government like never before.’ However, this statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and is likely meant to inflame emotions rather than provide factual information.
