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

88%

Examples:

  • The author consistently reports facts without adding personal opinions or interpretations.
  • There are no instances of the author presenting one side of a story as definitively true while ignoring credible evidence supporting an opposing view.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The author has covered the NFL for 23 seasons and has served as a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for 11 years. This demonstrates their expertise and dedication to the sport, but does not create any conflicts of interest.
  • There are no instances of the author having a personal or financial stake in the events they report on.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author reported that Keenan Allen declined a pay cut when the Chargers approached him on Thursday but did not mention anything about any other offers or negotiations between Allen and the Bears. This implied that there was only one offer made to him by the Chargers which is false as it's been reported elsewhere that he had multiple suitors including the Bears.
  • The author occasionally reports conflicting information from different sources, but quickly clarifies and corrects any errors.

Deceptions

62%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author reports that Keenan Allen declined a pay cut when the Chargers approached him on Thursday but does not mention anything about any other offers or negotiations between Allen and the Bears. This implies that there was only one offer made to him by the Chargers which is false as it's been reported elsewhere that he had multiple suitors including the Bears.
  • The article reports that Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa agreed to pay reductions but does not mention anything about any other players who may have agreed or were asked to take a reduction in their salaries. This implies that only these two players took cuts while others did not which is misleading as it's been reported elsewhere that several other players also took salary cuts.
  • The article reports that the Bears don't know who their quarterback will be but whoever it is will have Allen and DJ Moore. This statement could be seen as deceptive because there are rumors circulating about a possible trade for Justin Herbert which would mean that Allen may not play with him if he were to join the team.
  • The author occasionally uses misleading language or presents information in a way that could be interpreted as deceptive.
