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

83%

Examples:

  • Governor Mike DeWine laid out a new set of proposed rules for accessing gender-affirming treatment that defy evidence-backed practice for adult patients and could severely restrict their access to health care.
  • Too many women are struggling to get the health care they need -- and were struggling even before the Supreme Court's radical ruling in Dobbs.
  • Yet another study — this one focused on telehealth — should counter the misguided attacks on mifepristone and misoprostol.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • Governor Mike DeWine laid out a new set of proposed rules for accessing gender-affirming treatment that defy evidence-backed practice for adult patients and could severely restrict their access to health care.

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • Abortion pills that patients got via telehealth and the mail are safe
  • Attacks on health care for trans kids seem poised to give way to attacks on all gender-affirming care, including for adults.
  • Ten reported human cases of avian influenza in the US, four linked to sick dairy cows and six connected to infected poultry.
  • The risk to humans is low but more work needs to be done to understand the reach and transmission of the virus.

Deceptions

78%

Examples:

  • The choice is hers. Photographer: Olivier Douliery/AFP/Getty Images Receiving abortion pills via telehealth is just as safe and effective as being handed those pills in a doctor's office, according to a large study published today in Nature Medicine.
  • Yet another study — this one focused on telehealth — should counter the misguided attacks on mifepristone and misoprostol.
