Liz Friden,

Liz Friden is a Navy Admiral who was nominated by President Biden to serve as chief of naval operations in July. However her nomination has been held up by Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville due to his hold on the Pentagon's post-Dobbs abortion policy, established earlier this year. If confirmed, Franchetti would be the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

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 mentions racist conspiracy theories in the context of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's hospitalization
  • The use of language that implies a lack of transparency and accountability when it comes to informing the public about important events such as a high-ranking military leader's hospitalization
  • The use of language that implies a lack of trust and respect towards government officials, particularly when it comes to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's handling of his cancer diagnosis and subsequent hospitalizations

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • There is no evidence in this article to suggest any conflicts of interest for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin or the other individuals mentioned
  • The use of language that implies a lack of trust and respect towards government officials, particularly when it comes to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's handling of his cancer diagnosis and subsequent hospitalizations

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was taken to the hospital on Sunday afternoon for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue
  • The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, White House and Congress were notified about Lloyd Austin's hospitalization

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that Austin has been admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center due to complications from surgery for prostate cancer but does not mention anything about an emergency bladder issue. This creates confusion and implies that there may have been other reasons for his hospitalization which were not mentioned in the article.
  • The title mentions an emergency bladder issue as the reason for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin being transferred his powers to Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, however this information is not mentioned until later in the article and it's unclear if there were any other reasons for transferring power or if he had already planned on doing so before being hospitalized.
