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:

  • President Joe Biden may have been exaggerating a bit this past Thursday, when he told a group of autoworkers in Michigan that America has “the strongest economy in the whole damn world.” But he has good reason to be upbeat.
  • The main reasons that the stock market has been going up and employers have been making new hires are that economic growth has been a lot stronger than many economists predicted, and inflation has been coming down faster than expected. That double dose of good news has revived the spirits of investors.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • All Americans are concerned with rising political violence.
  • Democrats did better than expected after highlighting Republican extremism but no President running for re-election can rely exclusively on the toxicity of his opponent. They also need a positive message on bread-and-butter issues like jobs, health care, and the cost of living.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • Investors are expecting a Trump win in November as stock indices have been making new highs
  • President Biden may have been exaggerating a bit this past Thursday, when he told a group of autoworkers in Michigan that America has “the strongest economy in the whole damn world.” But he has good reason to be upbeat.

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • The article does not provide evidence to support this statement.
  • The author exaggerates when he says that America has 'the strongest economy in the world'.
