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 does not provide any context or background information on why Nadezhdin was disqualified or what his political views are.
  • The article presents Nadezhdin's disqualification as a negative outcome for anti-war activists in Russia.
  • The article uses the term 'anti-war candidate' to describe Nadezhdin, which may imply that he is opposed to all forms of war and not just Putin's policies or actions.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Nadezhdin only collected 95,587 legitimate signatures,
  • ]The decision was made during a ruling on Thursday by the Central Election Committee (CEC) of Russia,[/

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article states that Nadezhdin failed to meet the criteria for registration due to invalid signatures exceeding the permissible limit of 5%. However, this statement is also misleading as it implies that his campaign was riddled with fraudulent signatures which were intentionally submitted in order to sabotage his candidacy. In reality, there may have been some errors or inconsistencies in the paperwork but it’s unclear whether these were deliberate attempts to undermine him.
  • The article states that Nadezhdin only collected 95,587 legitimate signatures when the required number was 100,000. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that he fell short by just a small margin of 4232 signatures.
