The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • The article presents the addition of a new category for Middle Eastern and North African Americans as transformative when in reality it has been long overdue. The fact that this community was previously categorized under 'white' despite having their own ethnic ties is misleading.

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

10%

Examples:

  • The article states that the deal is all but dead on arrival. However, it later reports that members of the Republican Party had organised against it. This contradicts the initial statement and shows an attempt at sensationalism to draw attention to a failed bill.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article presents the addition of a new category for Middle Eastern and North African Americans as transformative when in reality it has been long overdue. The fact that this community was previously categorized under 'white' despite having their own ethnic ties is misleading.
