The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

10%

Examples:

  • As a mother I would just say step away from the screen, go outside, get some fresh air. Beating Tetris is not a life goal.”
  • Sky News presenter Jayne Secker criticized Willis Gibson's achievement by telling him to go outside and get some fresh air as she reported the story.
  • The act of 'beating' Tetris by forcing a kill screen had only been done by AI bots before. He also dedicated his win to his late father, who passed away last month. For @SkyNews to belittle him is just pathetic,”

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • None

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

  • Sky News also praises Luke Littler's achievement in darts on the same day, creating a double standard where video game achievements are not given equal weight and respect.
  • The host tells viewers to go outside and get some fresh air after Willis Gibson beats Tetris. This implies that beating Tetris is not important or meaningful.

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • Barry Keoghan reveals ‘Saltburn’ grave sex scene was totally improvised
  • Sky News presenter criticised for insulting 13-year-old who 'beat' 'Tetris’
