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

75%

Examples:

  • The author uses language that dehumanizes the victims of the crash by referring to them as 'occupants' rather than people.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • There is no evidence of conflict of interest in this article.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • A passenger plane burst into flames on the runway of Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday
  • On Saturday, heavy machinery worked for a second day to remove debris of the burned Airbus A320 for storage in a hangar to allow the runway to reopen
  • Six experts from Japan Transport Safety Board walked through mangled debris of Airbus A350-900 that was lying on runway searching for voice data recorder.
  • The small lights on the coast guard aircraft and its short stop might have made it less visible to JAL pilots and air traffic control.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The author claims that SLIM landed on a target of just 100 meters (330 feet), but this information is not supported by any evidence presented in the article. In fact, it's unclear how accurate SLIM's landing was at all due to trouble with its solar batteries and difficulties in determining whether the probe landed within its intended zone.
  • The images of SLIM on the surface show it lying upside down, which suggests a hard landing and raises questions about whether it was able to function properly after its descent.
