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

82%

Examples:

  • Brian Hughes, a senior adviser to Trump’s campaign, ripped Schumer’s announcement, saying he, like all Biden Democrats, will do whatever it takes to weaponize the legal system against the Republican nominee.
  • Retired Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte told local media Thao has ‘blood on her hands’ amid rising crime, grand theft auto and instances of people being robbed on the street.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump liable for more than $350 million in damages
  • Trump Sr., the Trump Revocable Trust and Trump Organization were found liable for $60 million, while Trump’s sons and Weisselberg were found liable for $4.01 million each – and Trump Sr. plus several entities including the Trump Organization and the LLC signifying Trump’s Chicago hotel were banned from applying for loans with institutions registered with New York for three years.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • A New York judge has found Donald J. Trump liable for conspiring to manipulate his net worth and ordered him to pay a penalty of nearly $355 million plus interest
  • The trial revealed four foundational codes that explain Trump’s tumultuous path through life: he thinks rules are for other people, he will always break them in seeking more wealth or attention, he compels always to fight even when stepping back would be smarter and sees justice as an act of persecution by his enemies.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • The article quotes experts without disclosing their sources or providing any context for their opinions, which makes it difficult to determine the credibility of these statements.
  • The author presents a one-sided view of the situation by only including statements from Trump family members and allies who are critical of New York’s justice system. This is deceptive because it does not provide a balanced perspective on the issue.
  • The use of sensationalist language such as ‘legal banana republic’ is deceptive because it implies that New York State has become a corrupt and unjust legal system, when in reality the civil penalties against Trump were found to be valid by an independent court.
