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

82%

Examples:

  • The danger for Biden is plainly that the mistake, in combination with the Putin moment, unravels the image of competency he was so eager to project.
  • The event came exactly two weeks after the disastrous debate performance in Atlanta that sent Democrats into a frenzy of panic and prompted a number of lawmakers to urge the president to stand aside. It's a crisis that Biden has not yet weathered.

Conflicts of Interest

90%

Examples:

  • There has been profound agitation among Democrats over Biden’s disastrous performance at his June 27 debate with former President Trump in Atlanta.

Contradictions

82%

Examples:

  • Former President Trump has appealed Bellows’ decision to the state Superior Court, arguing that she failed to provide due process and lacked proper legal authority.
  • Former President Trump has been banned from running for president in two states: Colorado and Maine.
  • The constitutional point at issue is whether the 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump from retaking the presidency, as it prohibits people who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution from holding office unless a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress makes an exception.
  • The decisions in Colorado and Maine were instantly controversial for obvious reasons. The Colorado Supreme Court split 4-3 on its verdict even though all seven justices were nominated by Democratic governors of the Centennial State.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • Biden did have some strong moments, but...
  • That won’t do much to ease Democratic nerves or voter anxiety.
  • The conversation came with his presidency in real peril.
  • There has been profound agitation among Democrats over Biden’s disastrous performance at his June 7 debate with former President Trump in Atlanta.
