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

80%

Examples:

  • Notable addition: WR Marquise Brown
  • Out go interior defensive linemen, in come edge rushers. That’s basically a wash for a team that returns everyone from an offense that led the NFL in EPA (expected points added) per game (8.81) and the NFC in points scored (491) last season, according to TruMedia.
  • Trade talk around star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is worth listening for

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been dog-whistling to supporters of extremist far-right ideologies and wild conspiracy theories like QAnon
  • white supremacists online celebrated the reference to the racist and antisemitic conspiracy

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

  • San Francisco is over the salary cap (by just $3.7 million) but has all of their significant offensive weapons under contract.
  • The NFL offseason began Sunday night after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 to claim the Super Bowl LVIII title and (only slightly less importantly) the top spot in our postseason power rankings.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article states that ‘all fan bases that have been tuning out as their teams were eliminated from playoff contention or the playoffs are now back in the game.’ However, this statement is not true as many fans have already given up on their teams and moved on to other sports or interests.
  • The author claims that all significant offensive weapons of San Francisco 49ers are under contract. However, they do not mention any specific players who were signed during free agency.
