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

85%

Examples:

  • The language used to describe the shooting as “immediate gunfire” coming out of the property
  • Vague language such as “six to eight people”

Conflicts of Interest

79%

Examples:

  • The use of loaded language when describing the shooting as “immediate gunfire” coming out of the property
  • Vague language such as “six to eight people”

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro has accused the homeowner of false representation in the case of a boy fatally shot by police.
  • Secret Service reported that the shooter fired from an elevated position.
  • The article is about West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Biden from office.

Deceptions

54%

Examples:

  • Sen. Ted Cruz’s statement on Hannity saying “I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States,” is deceptive as it implies that he endorsed him before the results of the Iowa caucus were announced, when in fact he only did so after they had already taken place and Trump had won them by a landslide margin.
  • The article implies that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on President Biden was found to be consistent with legal requirements and not gratuitous or unduly prejudicial.
  • The title of the article is deceptive as it implies that Sen. Ted Cruz has endorsed Donald Trump before the results of the Iowa caucus were announced, when in fact he only did so after they had already taken place and Trump had won them by a landslide margin.
