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 implies that the border deal is a reasonable and urgent solution to the crisis, but does not provide any evidence or context for this claim.
  • The article presents former president Donald Trump and his supporters as opposing the bill solely for political reasons, rather than examining their policy arguments or evidence.
  • The article uses emotive language such as ‘angry’ and ‘threatened’ to describe the reactions of some senators, which may influence readers' opinions without factual support.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The article does not disclose any conflicts of interest for the sources it cites.
  • This may create an impression that these sources are credible or authoritative, without revealing their biases or motives.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The article contradicts itself by stating that Republicans who said they would not aid U.S. allies before addressing the border crisis promptly slammed the very deal they had demanded hours after it was released.
  • This implies that these senators were hypocritical or inconsistent in their positions, which is a contradiction.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article uses a deceptive practice by presenting Senators who voted against proceeding to the original supplemental as being concerned about sending voters a message by voting on something they had earlier rejected.
  • This is not clear from their statements or actions during the meeting, and may mislead readers into thinking that these senators have a coherent rationale for their votes.
