The Daily's Verdict

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

Bias

30%

Examples:

  • The author seems to have a slight bias towards the protesters in some of the articles, particularly in how they describe the motivations and actions of both sides in the UCLA protests.

Conflicts of Interest

40%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author mentions that an ETF is an easy way to invest in assets or a group of assets without having to directly buy the assets themselves. This could be seen as a conflict of interest because it suggests that investing in ETFs is a good idea, even though the author may have their own financial interests tied to ETFs.

Contradictions

20%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author mentions that an ETF is an easy way to invest in assets without having to directly buy the assets themselves, but then claims that the SEC has approved bitcoin ETFs. This is misleading because only a few of them have been approved to trade on US exchanges.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author claims that the SEC has approved bitcoin ETFs when it had only given approval for a few of them to trade on US exchanges. This is deceptive because the article does not provide any context or evidence supporting this claim.
