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
78%
Examples:
- But the antiwar outbursts on campuses across the country that began shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel – and the rise of antisemitism on college campuses, according to the Anti-Defamation League – are now oft-repeated targets of Republican criticism.
- If these campuses cannot get control of this problem, they do not deserve taxpayer dollars.
- She was a bum, a failed vice president
- They quickly signaled plans to make a slashing case against Harris for her handling of the southern border, and to tie her to Biden’s most unpopular policies. But they also acknowledged that Harris would bring new challenges.
Conflicts of Interest
88%
Examples:
- If you are a protester on this campus, and you are proud that you’ve been endorsed by Hamas, you are part of the problem.
- Imagine trying to study for finals at Columbia, while people outside the library are calling for your death.
- They own each other’s records.
Contradictions
86%
Examples:
- Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton raised $26 million in a star-studded event for President Biden. Many expect Trump to eclipse that record-setting figure and possibly raise around $43 million.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican colleagues visited Columbia University in New York City where tensions are high between the university administration and students who have erected pro-Palestinian encampments.
- The goal is to create a concise document that is 'a couple dozen pages' and written in clearer language
Deceptions
68%
Examples:
- But Harris, who served as the top prosecutor in San Francisco and was later elected California attorney general, has a more complicated political story.
- The former president urged attendees at the faith-themed event to vote —“Vote early. Vote absentee. Vote on Election Day. I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote,” he said
- Trump zeroed in on Harris’s past comments about the “defund the police’ movement.
