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

80%

Examples:

  • The author also uses loaded language when describing the shooting as 'immediate gunfire coming out of the property'
  • The author has a clear bias towards the Republican party and its candidates. They frequently praise Trump's campaign and endorsement by Cruz while criticizing other Republicans who have not endorsed him.
  • Vague language such as 'six to eight people'

Conflicts of Interest

55%

Examples:

  • 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.
  • The author has a clear conflict of interest as they are an employee of Fox News Media and have been tasked with covering the Trump campaign.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Morrisey detailed multiple instances where Biden's advanced age and apparent cognitive decline appeared to surface in his interactions with foreign leaders. These gaffes included when Biden appeared to fall asleep during the COP26 climate change conference in 2021, and when he was forced to clarify the U.S.'s 'One China' policy after committing to defend Taiwan militarily should it be attacked.
  • Morrisey wrote that Americans have had to stand by and watch as their President has experienced a profound cognitive decline. Over the last few months alone, President Biden has mixed up world leaders and political figures, strained to address basic issues in public speeches, and wandered out of events in a disoriented state.
  • 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

40%

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 caucuses 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 does not provide any information about what type of surgery Austin underwent or when he had it done.
  • The title of the article implies that Sen. Ted Cruz has endorsed Donald Trump for president over before the results of the Iowa caucuses were announced.
