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

88%

Examples:

  • The articles tend to present Palestinian perspectives without providing equal time for Israeli viewpoints.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The author has been based in France and Italy to report about Europe, and previously covered Latin America from posts in Brazil and Mexico. This may create a potential conflict of interest when reporting on these regions.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:
