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:
- The author repeatedly states that it was unplayable and a waste of time to attempt to analyze or make sense of what was happening when the ball sporadically stopped in ponds or zipped past shallow areas. They also quote Canada coach Bev Priestman saying 'It's obvious that the game was unplayable'.
- The author then goes on to say that ESPN reached out and asked whether Concacaf or officiating crew were responsible for deciding weather conditions, but a spokesperson from Concacaf said it is solely at the discretion of referee Katia Garcia. This implies that there may have been other factors involved in the decision to play the game.
