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

90%

Examples:

  • Hamas condemned the strikes on Monday, calling them 'forced displacement attempts' and 'horrific massacres against defenseless civilians and displaced children, women, and the elderly.'
  • Rafah has become a last refuge for Palestinians fleeing south to avoid Israel's air and ground campaigns across the rest of Gaza.
  • The Israeli forces encountered resistance from Hamas before they were taken to a safe place within Rafah for medical attention.

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

87%

Examples:

  • China heavily censors any mention or reference of the Tiananmen Square crackdown on social media
  • Hong Kong was the only Chinese territory that held a memorial for Tiananmen Square until 2020, but it is now banned and its organizers jailed
  • The death toll from the crackdown remains unknown, with hundreds to thousands believed to have been killed

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The title claims two hostages were rescued from Gaza after being taken for 128 days but only one person remained captive in Gaza. This is deceptive as it implies a more significant threat than was actually present.
