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:

  • The article uses language such as 'deeply flawed' to describe Musk's compensation process. This is biased because it implies that the board of directors acted improperly in approving Musk's compensation plan, which may not be true.
  • The article uses language such as 'never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware' to make Tesla seem like a bad choice for investors. This is biased because it implies that other states are better options for companies, which may not be true.
  • The author quotes from Tornetta's lawyer in a way that makes him seem like an outsider and not someone with any expertise on compensation plans or corporate governance. This is biased because it implies that the lawyer does not have the same level of knowledge as Musk or his attorneys, which may not be true.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • President Trump has the most experienced, qualified, disciplined and overall strongest legal team ever assembled as he continues to fight for America and Americans against these partisan Crooked Joe Biden-led election interference hoaxes
  • The article uses language that dehumanizes and demonizes former President Donald Trump by referring to him as a 'crooked Joe Biden-led election interference hoaxes'

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • A trial on a second, similar defamation lawsuit by Carroll against Trump for comments he made about her while president is set to begin Tuesday in Manhattan federal court.
  • Trump is appealing that verdict in the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • Joe Tacopina withdrew as a lawyer for Donald Trump
  • President Trump has the most experienced, qualified, disciplined and overall strongest legal team ever assembled as he continues to fight for America and Americans against these partisan Crooked Joe Biden-led election interference hoaxes
  • The title of the article implies that Elon Musk's compensation has been voided when in fact it was only partially voided. This is a deceptive statement as it creates the impression that Elon Musk has lost all his compensation, which is not true.
