The Daily's Verdict

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

Bias

10%

Examples:

  • The author often uses phrases like 'one of the most empathetic and moving love stories', 'the big winners' and 'frontrunner for Oscar attention' which suggest a favorable view of these works.
  • The author seems to have a bias towards positive reviews of movies and shows that are critically acclaimed or award-winning.

Conflicts of Interest

10%

Examples:

  • For example, he is a resident film critic for JoBlo.com and James Bond expert, which could imply that he has a bias towards certain genres or franchises.
  • The author has not disclosed any conflicts of interest in his articles, which could affect the credibility and objectivity of his reviews.

Contradictions

10%

Examples:

  • The author has contradicted himself by claiming that Elton John attained EGOT status after winning an Emmy for his Disney Plus concert Farewell from Dodger Stadium, while also stating that EGOT status is only attained by people who have never won any of the four awards before.
  • This contradiction shows a lack of accuracy and consistency in reporting facts about Elton John's achievement.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • Another example is his title 'Primetime Emmy Awards: Succession, The Bear & Beef dominate' which suggests that these shows are the only ones worth watching or talking about when there were many other nominees and winners.
  • For example, his title 'Elton John becomes the 19th person to attain EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) status' is misleading because it implies that Elton John has achieved all four awards at once when in fact he only won an Emmy for his concert.
  • The author uses deceptive practices such as clickbait titles and exaggerated language to attract readers' attention.
