This author is known for its high journalistic standards. The author strives to maintain neutrality and transparency in its reporting, and avoids conflicts of interest. The author has a reputation for accuracy and rarely gets contradicted on major discrepancies in its reporting.

Bias

92%

Examples:

  • Even the show's acting, once such a strength, now feels mostly lifeless and one-note
  • The Bear Is Not a Good Show
  • The latest season includes multiple versions of The Beat's 'Save It for Later' (including one by Vedder, natch), John Cale's 'Big White Cloud', and yet another appearance of R.E.M.'s 'Strange Currencies'. These are all good songs that I would never normally object to hearing, but it feels as if The Bear is piggybacking off other people's art to distract from its own lack of substance.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Brief forays into Marley's conversion to Rastafarianism are surprisingly well done.
  • Snippets of Marley's classic songs surface as a recurring musical motif in the film.
  • The Bear Is Not a Good Show
  • The film depicts Bob Marley writing most of Exodus which marked his full breakthrough into global superstardom.
