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

78%

Examples:

  • As of now, the backbone of Biden’s support on Capitol Hill is the Congressional Black Caucus, whose senior members come almost entirely from safe districts. But the letter from Jeffries – who many hope will be the first Black American to hold the speaker’s gavel – throws into question whether even that bulwark might be developing cracks.
  • They trust their own fingertip-feel for their constituents – from the meetings they have with community leaders to their random conversations with people they encounter at Walmart – far more than any poll or Beltway political strategist.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Given all of this, the best option for Biden now – perhaps his only one – is not to hope the country will begin to recognize his achievements. It is to start drawing a sharper, no-holds-barred contrast with Trump and what it would mean if he is allowed to return to the White House.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Referencing Stormy Daniels, Biden said ‘You might call it ‘stormy weather’ in relation to Trump’s hush-money trial.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • And toward the end, Biden chastised the media: ‘I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides. I’m asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment.’
  • I had a great stretch since the State of the Union. But Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it ‘stormy weather.’
  • The 2024 election’s in full swing and yes, age is an issue. I’m a grown man running against a 6-year-old.
