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

80%

Examples:

  • The author has a clear bias towards the topic of abortion and presents information in a way that supports their stance. They use language such as 'abortion laws should be left up to the states' and 'a six-week ban would definitely change the entire ecosystem of this work we do'. The author also uses quotes from reproductive advocates, medical experts, and anti-abortion activists without providing context or countering their arguments. This creates a one-sided view on the topic.

Conflicts of Interest

60%

Examples:

  • The author has a clear conflict of interest as they present information in support of their stance on abortion. They use language such as 'a six-week ban would definitely change the entire ecosystem of this work we do' and quote reproductive advocates without providing context or countering their arguments.

Contradictions

70%

Examples:

  • The author claims that vaccines side effects are typically mild but fails to mention that some people may experience severe reactions such as anaphylaxis which can be life-threatening. This is a lie by omission since it misleads readers into thinking there are no serious risks associated with vaccines.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The author claims that Florida had recorded 10 measles cases in 2024 but fails to mention that this number includes out-of-state residents who caught the virus elsewhere and were treated here. This is a lie by omission since it misleads readers into thinking there are more cases than what has been reported.
