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

86%

Examples:

  • The author also highlights some inconsistencies in performance, such as Aja Wilson's fewest points as a pro in the WNBA game.
  • The author shows a slight preference for the underdog teams and players, such as the USMNT in their game against Colombia and Caitlin Clark in her match against the reigning WNBA champions.

Conflicts of Interest

96%

Examples:

  • In an article about Jason Kelce necking beers with fans before cheering on his brother Travis, there is no mention of any financial ties or conflicts of interest that the author may have had in writing this article.
  • In the article about Makhachev retaining his lightweight title, there is a mention of Dana White naming the headliner Fight of the Night and Makhachev receiving a Performance of the Night bonus. However, no conflict of interest is mentioned as Dana White is also UFC's president.

Contradictions

76%

Examples:

  • In an article about Makhachev retaining his lightweight title against Dustin Poirier at UFC 302, it is mentioned that Makhachev extended his winning streak to 14, making it the third longest in UFC history. However, this information is not summarized or repeated in the biography.
  • In the article about Caitlin Clark, the author mentions that she had six turnovers in the game and that Indiana Fever lost to Las Vegas Aces with a score of 99-80. In another article, they mention that Jason Kelce announced his retirement after the Eagles' wild card loss to Tampa Bay, which contradicts the title of the article where he is seen drinking beers with fans.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • In an article about Caitlin Clark, there is a mention of her struggling against reigning WNBA champions and highlighting her fewest points as a pro. This could be seen as using deceptive tactics to portray her negatively.
  • In an article about USMNT's loss to Colombia, the author uses sensationalist language in the title and throughout the article to emphasize the severity of the loss. They also use emotional manipulation by quoting Freddy Adu's social media post.
