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 'investor sentiment' was boosted by Friday's jobs report and tech earnings.
  • > The S&P 500 (<sup>GSPC</sup>) rose 1.1%

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Holt ran in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary special election last year, a race he ultimately lost to now-Sen. Cory Booker. Holt is the third member of the New Jersey delegation to either resign or not seek re-election this year, but his seat will almost certainly remain in Democratic hands.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • There is no hidden motive for my decision,— Holt said in a letter to supporters on Tuesday. &#39;As friends who have worked with me know, I have never thought that the primary purpose of my work was re-election and I have never intended to make service in the House my entire career.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • Reflecting his scientific background, his campaign made one of the most recognizable bumper stickers in recent memory: Rush Holt bumper sticker Flickr/Rush Holt
