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

86%

Examples:

  • Boeing faced yet another investigation into its safety issues.
  • The January 5 Boeing 737-9 Max incident must never happen again

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Apple is also suing Masimo.

Contradictions

84%

Examples:

  • Apple is no longer selling the newest Apple Watch in America after the White House declines to overturn ban
  • At issue is a complaint by the California-based medical monitoring technology company Masimo that the pulse reader feature infringes on its pulse-oximeter technology, which is designed to monitor blood oxygen levels
  • The affected watches come with a pulse oximeter feature that reads blood-oxygen levels
  • The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has halted Boeing's planned expansion of its 737 Max aircraft production.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The article quotes FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker stating that Boeing will not be granted any production expansion until their safety probe is completed which contradicts what was stated earlier in the article about returning to profitability. This is a deceptive statement as it implies that Boeing can resume production without addressing the safety concerns.
  • The headline claims that Boeing has been approved to return its planes to service when in fact it only received approval for inspections and maintenance of the grounded planes. This is a deceptive statement as it implies that the FAA has cleared all safety concerns with the 737 Max lineup.
  • There are several instances where statements made by David Calhoun and other sources are taken out of context or misrepresented. For example, when asked about passengers' concerns about flying, Calhoun stated 'We fly safe planes'. However, this statement is not supported by Boeing's track record in recent years which includes repeated quality and safety issues with their aircraft.
