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 describes Palestinian civilians killed in Huwara as 'law-breakers' and portrays them as deserving of violence.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The article contradicts its own title by not mentioning that Biden's order does not target Israeli settlers but rather their access to U.S. aid and assistance

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • The article claims that Biden's order targets Israeli settlers who have been accused of attacking Palestinians and Israeli peace activists in the occupied territory, but this statement is misleading as it implies that all Israelis living in settlements are involved in such activities which is not true.
  • The article quotes Netanyahu denouncing the U.S penalties but fails to mention any other Israeli leaders or officials who have condemned Biden's order, creating a false impression of unanimous opposition from Israel to Biden's actions when in reality there may be differing opinions within the country.
