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 also uses the word 'celebrating' which suggests a positive attitude towards Putin's actions, while ignoring the humanitarian crisis and suffering caused by his invasion.
  • The article is biased by using the term 'far-right influencers' to describe verified accounts on X and Telegram. This implies a negative connotation that these users are extremists or radicals without providing any evidence or context.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The title of the article contradicts the content of the article. The title implies that Ukraine has presented a peace formula to end the war with Russia when no such formula was mentioned in the body of the article.
  • Zelenskiy's chief of staff represented him at the talks, not Zelenskiy himself, which is another contradiction.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article deceptively omits important information about Zelenskiy's presence and peace formula. This could mislead the reader into thinking that Ukraine is not actively involved in the negotiations or has a different agenda than what was stated.
