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

92%

Examples:

  • Vivek Ramaswamy has been dog-whistling to supporters of extremist far-right ideologies and wild conspiracy theories like QAnon.
  • white supremacists online celebrated the reference to the racist and antisemitic conspiracy.

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Not all prospective dealers are created equal. The Oklahoma City Thunder may well wind up finishing with the best record in the Western Conference even without a move, but their three best players are 25, 22 and 21 years old respectively and they hold more tradable draft capital than any team in the NBA.
  • The impending rules are why the Celtics made a blockbuster trade with Milwaukee to acquire Jrue Holiday. This deal would not have been allowed under the new rules.

Deceptions

100%
