The Daily's Verdict

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

Bias

79%

Examples:

  • CNN is known for its liberal leaning and Radina Gigova's reports reflect this. She has covered topics such as the global fight against terrorism, the war in eastern Ukraine, and the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean which are often framed with a focus on human rights and social justice.

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • In an article about a Russian dam bursting, Radina reports that the dam broke in two places due to improper maintenance but later contradicts herself by stating that the dam could not contain the flow of water and broke. This is a minor contradiction as it does not change the overall understanding of the situation.

Deceptions

44%

Examples:

  • In one article, Radina reports that a market and shops were targeted with multiple launch rocket systems in Donetsk's Kirovsky district. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Additionally, she reports a statement by Russia's Foreign Ministry that Ukraine committed a terrorist act against the civilian population of Russia which is misleading.
