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:

  • a relatively simple countermeasure in place to deal with space-based weapons: just send up a fighter jet to blow the damn thing out of the sky.
  • Despite his successful shootdown of a satellite in orbit, Pearson's glory was short-lived
  • Some U.S. government officials suspect the system may be nuclear, a prospect that raises concerns that the Russian government could not only disable strategic satellites in orbit, but, in turn, deal a major blow to the U.S.
  • The national security of the United States is currently imperiled by a new threat from Russia
  • The underlying concept of the ASM-135 was simple: An aircraft would launch a two-stage missile at altitude that would then release an autonomous Miniature Homing Vehicle that would then impact an enemy satellite

Conflicts of Interest

60%

Examples:

  • In response to Soviet Union's rapid development of co-orbital anti-satellite weapons in late 1970s, Carter administration launched a program that would lead to ASM-135 missile
  • The U.S. military had been pursuing anti-satellite weapons since the dawn of the space race with Sputnik 1 in 1957

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Russia is developing a nuclear space weapon that would destroy satellites by creating a massive energy wave when detonated.
  • The U.S. military has been pursuing anti-satellite weapons since the dawn of the space race with the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, especially as fears of Russian space nukes grew at the height of the Cold War.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • In response to Soviet Union's rapid development of co-orbital anti-satellite weapons in late 1970s, Carter administration launched a program that would lead to ASM-135 missile
  • The article states that the US military has a simple countermeasure to deal with space-based weapons when in reality they have not been successful at developing an effective solution.
