The Daily's Verdict

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

Bias

50%

Examples:

  • The article also mentions that Becker was set to appear before Congress on Tuesday, suggesting he is being held responsible for the bank failures.
  • The article uses the term 'collapsed' instead of 'failed' to describe SVB and Signature Bank, which implies a stronger negative connotation.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that Becker could not be reached for comment and did not respond to requests for comment. This suggests there may be a lack of transparency or cooperation from him regarding the bank failures.

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

  • Becker said in prepared testimony that regulators had raised risk-management issues that were flagged by SVB. However, some lawmakers have rebuked him and other executives for failing to address these issues.
  • The article also states that Becker cut his teeth during the dotcom bubble and later steered the startup-focused lender in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis. This implies he has a lot of experience in dealing with volatile markets.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article does not provide any evidence or direct quotations from Tacopina's email to support his claim that he has withdrawn from representing Trump. This is a lie by omission.
  • The New York Times had earlier reported that Tacopina had withdrawn from the two cases, but this statement is also a lie by omission as there are no quotes or sources disclosed to back up this assertion.
