Conflicts of Interest

Examples:

  • The author has a potential conflict of interest as he is writing for Fortune, which may have financial ties to some of the companies he covers. For example, his article on Flow's attempt to buy WeWork does not mention that Flow was backed by SoftBank, one of WeWork's largest investors.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The author contradicts himself in some of his articles. For example, he writes that Adam Neumann partied hard in private planes while other top executives flew coach, but then says that WeWork's co-founder trademarked the word “We” and charged WeWork $5.9 million to use it in company branding.

Deceptions

Examples:

  • The author uses deception in some of his articles. For example, he mentions Flow's letter to WeWork without providing any context or details about what it says.
