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

100%

Examples:

  • The author implies that the spirit of Basa was able to communicate with Dr. Chua, but does not provide any scientific or logical explanation for this phenomenon.
  • The author relies on anecdotal evidence and personal accounts without providing any verifiable sources or data.
  • The author uses sensationalist language and exaggerates the facts to attract readers' attention.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • However, it is possible that the author has a vested interest in promoting sensationalist stories and attracting readers' attention at the expense of providing accurate and reliable information.
  • The author does not disclose any potential conflicts of interest or biases that may affect their reporting on the solar storms.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The article also contradicts itself by claiming that there is no evidence of any impact on critical infrastructure due to solar storms, but then saying that one of the few clues in Basa's murder case was a note in her diary predicting radio blackouts.
  • The article also contradicts itself by quoting an expert who says that NOAA's SWPC has predicted R1-R2 level radio blackouts and weak power grid fluctuations due to solar storms, but then saying that the flare released on Sunday was 'the largest we have seen in weeks' and has already caused short-lived radio blackouts over Australia and the Asian Pacific.
  • The article contradicts itself by claiming that there is a 75% chance of radio blackouts due to solar storms in one paragraph, and then stating that the data showed only around a 50% chance of such disruptions in another.

Deceptions

100%

Examples:

  • The article is deceptive by presenting unverified claims as facts without providing any evidence or sources to support them.
  • The author does not inform the readers about the limitations, uncertainties, and gaps in their knowledge regarding solar storms and their impact on critical infrastructure.
  • The author uses emotional appeals and exaggerations to manipulate the readers' emotions and beliefs.
