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 presents the U.S. military's response as a “tiered response” over time, implying that it will not be limited to just one hit and will continue in the future.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The article states that President Joe Biden was briefed on the strikes before he left Delaware on Saturday for a West Coast campaign trip. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that Biden had prior knowledge of these attacks and approved them when there is no evidence to suggest so.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Iran has had a hand in the attacks by supplying and training the militias.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article states that the U.S military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias Friday, but does not mention any casualties or injuries caused by these strikes.
