The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

80%

Examples:

  • The article quotes white supremacists online celebrating the reference to a racist and antisemitic conspiracy.

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

  • There are no examples of conflicts of interest in this article.

Contradictions

95%

Examples:

  • Kane assisted on tying goal in third period with 4:16 remaining, then beat former Red Wings goaltender Petr Mrazek on a breakaway at 1:42 of overtime to win the game for Detroit.
  • Kane had won the Stanley Cup three times (2010, 2013 and 2015), the Calder Trophy as the NHL's rookie of the year in 2007-8, the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2013 and Hart Trophy as League's most valuable player in 2015-6.

Deceptions

35%

Examples:

  • The article quotes Chris Chelios saying that Patrick Kane will have his number retired by the Blackhawks and be the greatest American player of all-time. This statement is not true as there are many other players who could claim this title such as Wayne Gretzky or Bobby Orr.
  • The article states that NHL legend Wayne Gretzky was among the first to rise to give Kane a standing ovation during his speech at his Chicago Blackhawks jersey retirement ceremony. However, there is no evidence in the article that this actually happened and it could have been added for sensationalism or emotional manipulation.
