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:

  • . $ Jeff Bezos has a fortune that’s climbed $45.6 billion this year to $199.5 billion as of Friday
  • He sold over $30 billion in shares since records going back to 2002, including about $20 billion combined in 2020 and 2021.
  • . Jeff Bezos unloaded 12 million shares of Amazon.com Inc. this week

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • . He plans to sell as many as 50 million shares over the next 12 months but fails to mention any specific reasons why he is doing this or what impact it will have on Amazon’s business.
  • . The article mentions that Jeff Bezos has sold over $30 billion in shares since records going back to 2002 but fails to provide any specific details about these transactions or their impact on Amazon’s business.

Contradictions

No current examples available.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that Jeff Bezos has sold over $30 billion in shares since records going back to 2002 but fails to provide any specific details about these transactions or their impact on Amazon’s business. This lack of transparency and detail makes it difficult for readers to fully understand the extent of Bezos’ actions.
  • The article states that Jeff Bezos sold $2 billion of Amazon shares but fails to mention that he also sold an additional $18 billion worth of stock earlier this year. This omission creates a false impression and misleads readers into thinking that Bezos only recently started selling his shares when in fact he has been doing so for quite some time.
