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

88%

Examples:

  • Rick and Michonne are alive and well for now, if only for the time being.
  • The author's use of language such as 'Coenesque violence' and 'Coenesque questions' is misleading as it implies that Fargo season five has a similar tone to previous seasons when in fact it takes a different approach.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The author's co-ownership and hosting of Post Show Recaps, a leading voice in the TV recap podcast community.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Rhaenyas, who once almost secured the crown, made a fatal choice by taking flight against Aemond and Vhagar.
  • Rhaenyra's trusted counselor and potential claimant to the crown, Rhaenys Targaryen, was killed by Aemond Targaryen during the battle.
  • Rhaenyra was forced to respond with her own dragon power after Criston Cole attempted to claim territory on Westeros proper.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The author's use of language such as 'Coenesque violence' and 'Coenesque questions' is misleading as it implies that Fargo season five has a similar tone to previous seasons when in fact it takes a different approach.
  • The final scene of Fargo season five does not provide an answer to the question of what do we do with debt but rather raises more questions about forgiveness and redemption.
