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

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • Joe Mayes reports on financial news but does not disclose any potential conflicts of interest in his articles.

Contradictions

81%

Examples:

  • The article states that 'I do want, where it’s possible to do so responsibly, to move towards a lower-tax economy,' but then goes on to say the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer will be responsible and prudent with his budget. These two statements contradict each other.
