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 author accuses Kim Keon Hee of abuse of power during their first one-on-one meeting in June 2022
  • The author compares Kim Keon Hee to Marie Antoinette.
  • The author presents a one-sided viewpoint on the issue, only presenting criticism from within the ruling party while ignoring any positive views or actions taken by them.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author uses sensationalist language such as 'rattles South Korea’s politics'.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Kim Jong Un promised ‘full support and solidarity’ with Russia in carrying out the special military operation in Ukraine.
  • North Korea is suspected to have provided Russia with weapons for use in Ukraine.
  • South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party won 175 seats, while the ruling conservative People Power Party took home 108 seats. This is misleading as it implies that there was no close contest between these two parties when in fact they were only one seat apart.

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • The article states that Yoon’s critics and opposition party have attacked him over scandals involving his family without providing any context or details about these allegations. This deceptively implies that there are serious moral issues with Yoon when in fact the article does not provide enough information to make a fair judgment on this matter.
  • The main opposition Democratic Party won 175 seats, while the ruling conservative People Power Party took home 108 seats. This is misleading as it implies that there was no close contest between these two parties when in fact they were only one seat apart.
