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:

  • The author appears to have a slight bias towards the film industry and its events, such as the Cannes Film Festival and awards seasons. They also seem to support the idea of expanding conversations around important topics like #MeToo and intimacy coordinators in films.
  • There is an example of religious bias in a piece about Christopher Nolan, where it's mentioned that he has a 'never compromised' approach to filmmaking which could be seen as a positive stereotype.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • There are no clear examples of conflicts of interest in Anthony D'Alessandro's reporting.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Another contradiction lies in the description of 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire', where it mentions long stretches of runtime exclusively featuring titans, but also states that Godzilla hibernates in a specific location.
  • In one article, there is a contradiction regarding Christopher Nolan's feelings about fame; it is stated that he hates his newfound fame, which contradicts previous statements made by him about enjoying recognition.

Deceptions

62%

Examples:

  • Another instance of deception is found in a piece about 'Godzilla x Kong', where the article claims that the film will have all nuclear powers of premium ticket upcharges such as Imax and PLF, but it does not mention other premium ticket upcharges like 4DX or ScreenX.
  • The title of one article was deceptive as it implied that Sam Wilson would be rebuilding the Avengers team when it was not clear if he would or not.
