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

90%

Examples:

  • The author also tends to report on events and statements without providing much context or analysis, which could give readers a skewed perspective.
  • The author occasionally uses biased language, such as referring to the Houthi rebels as 'Iran-backed' in a way that dehumanizes them.

Conflicts of Interest

85%

Examples:

  • The author's employer, PA Media, has business dealings with Trafigura, a company mentioned in one of the articles. The author does not disclose this conflict of interest.

Contradictions

83%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author mentions that Alister Jack placed three bets on the timing of the general election but later states that 'as a result of ongoing internal inquiries the party had concluded it could no longer support either of them.' This creates confusion about whether or not there is a contradiction.
  • The author also reports on claims made by Defence Secretary Grant Shapps regarding an incident involving a British-linked ship without providing context or clarification on the accuracy of these claims.

Deceptions

76%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author mentions that Labour was dragged into the row over betting scandals but does not provide any details about how this is related to their party.
  • The author reports on claims made by various parties without providing context or clarification on the accuracy of these claims.
