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

92%

Examples:

  • The author portrays James Crumbley's actions leading up to the shooting as negligent and uncaring towards his son's mental health needs.
  • The author uses language such as 'gun owner who made the purchase of a Sig Sauer 9mm gun gifted to their son'. This implies that James Crumbley was irresponsible for buying a firearm and giving it to his child.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The author previously worked for the Chicago-based civic journalism lab City Bureau, the Huffington Post and as a freelancer for the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vice News and other outlets.

Contradictions

4%

Examples:

  • Adam Hamawy is among the three Americans who refused to leave.
  • The mission staff had been scheduled to last two weeks before a fresh group of aid workers would rotate in with new supplies, but this was not possible due to the closure of the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The article presents the idea that James Crumbley may be more sympathetic than Jennifer Crumbley due to his emotional response to the shooting, but this is not necessarily true as he could still be held responsible for failing to properly store the gun or show reasonable care in preventing harm. This is an example of deception by omission as it implies that James Crumbley's emotional state excuses him from responsibility.
  • The article states that much of the important evidence from Jennifer Crumbley's trial will also be presented in James Crumbley's trial, including text messages between Ethan and his friends about mental health treatment. This is an example of deception by omission as it implies that these texts are new evidence when they were actually used in Jennifer Crumbley's trial.
