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 claims that abandoning these small strategic bases would make the region less stable and the United States less secure. However, this claim is not supported by any evidence or analysis of how these bases contribute to stability or security.
  • > The deaths of these soldiers are tragic.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author uses loaded language such as 'axis of resistance' and 'Islamic Resistance of Iraq', which are terms used by Iranian-sponsored militias. This creates a false sense that the United States is facing an existential threat from these groups, when in reality they pose no significant danger to US security.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The author claims that Tower 22 supports a U.S garrison with about 200 soldiers called al-Tanf just over the nearby border with Syria. However, this statement is not accurate as there are only approximately 350 U.S personnel stationed at Tower 22 and most of them work in noncombat roles.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author does not disclose his sources or affiliations that may influence his views on foreign policy issues.
  • The author does not provide any evidence or analysis for his claims about the importance of Tower 22 and al-Tanf.
