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 calls abusive priests 'hiding in plain sight' within the Catholic Church.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author does not mention any statements made by anyone other than Chris Jones, such as those from the original star of the play, Tyne Daly, who might have had different opinions on the play and its relevance to the current situation.

Contradictions

70%

Examples:

  • A battle of the sexes is also explored as mutual distrust often arises between men who had all the power and women who saw how they used it.
  • Father Flynn does not lead with fear and seeks to give the church a more familiar face.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author is deceptive when he says that 'John Patrick Shanley's Doubt: A Parable was first produced in 2004, near the zenith of the long-lasting crisis over abusive priests hiding in plain sight within the Catholic Church.' This statement is a lie by omission, because it does not provide any evidence or sources for his claim that there was a 'crisis' over abusive priests.
