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:

  • Larry Fitzmaurice tends to report news with a neutral tone.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • In the article about Sam Asghari and Britney Spears' divorce, Larry mentions that Sam said he tries to keep it positive because he hates when exes talk badly about each other. This could be seen as a conflict of interest since Larry is reporting on someone who has expressed a desire for positivity in public discourse.

Contradictions

90%

Examples:

  • Another contradiction could be found in the article about Sam Asghari's comments on Britney Spears' divorce where it states 'At the time the news broke, Sam put out his own statement confirming everything.' This implies that there might have been other statements from Sam or Britney that were not mentioned.
  • In one article, Larry reported a statement from Selena Gomez about her fans being hurtful about Benny Blanco's relationship. However, there was a contradictory statement that Benny Blanco wants to have children with Selena Gomez.

Deceptions

70%

Examples:

  • In the same article about Sam Asghari and Britney Spears' divorce, Larry mentions that 'At the time the news broke, Sam put out his own statement confirming everything.'
