  • The author's coverage of military topics may lead to potential conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

70%

Examples:

  • The article claims that a Houthi missile got within a nautical mile of USS Gravely on Tuesday, but CNN's report contradicts this by stating the missile was shot down over 10 miles away from the ship.
  • The author claims that CIWS is a last-ditch defense system and not an optimal solution for taking out Houthi attacks, but this statement is misleading as CIWS has been proven to be effective in defending against such attacks and can fire up to 4,500 rounds per minute at missiles and aircraft.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The article claims that Gravely had to use its CIWS because other systems did not take out the target, but this statement is also misleading as it implies there were no other weapons available on board which was not true.
  • The author claims that CIWS is a last-ditch defense system and not an optimal solution for taking out Houthi attacks, but this statement is misleading as CIWS has been proven to be effective in defending against such attacks and can fire up to 4,500 rounds per minute at missiles and aircraft.
