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

88%

Examples:

  • Old Cold Warrior and Russian President Vladimir Putin is obsessed with Cuba and Florida.
  • Putin thinks he is flexing Russia’s asymmetric capabilities. But all Putin is accomplishing is letting the U.S. get a good tactical update on Russian naval electronic emissions, tactics and how well the Russian sailors handle their ships.
  • The Zircon missile is a nasty customer.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The author is a contributor to Fox News, which may have a conservative slant in its coverage.

Contradictions

81%

Examples:

  • Both ships carry nuclear-capable Zircon hypersonic missiles.
  • The center of the action was the F/A-18EF Superhornet.
  • The goal of Russia’s naval exercises is ‘practicing the use of high-precision missile weapons by means of computer modeling’.
  • These Superhornets are playing for much higher stakes. They have Iran and China watching.

Deceptions

85%

Examples:

  • The author uses selective reporting by focusing on the success of the strike while ignoring any potential collateral damage or negative consequences for civilians in Yemen.
  • The use of sensationalist language such as ‘turnaround in tactics worthy of a Hollywood thriller’ and ‘unleashing the Superhornets was long overdue.’.
