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

86%

Examples:

  • IATSE Boss Matthew Loeb wrapped up the rally by saying we are standing here together and that has never happened before but I suspect it will continue to happen into the future as we build strength and solidarity.
  • Lindsay Dougherty, chief negotiator for Teamsters Local 399, while looking out over the parking lot of workers – most of whom wore black and sported union T-shirts that read 'pay equity now' and 'nothing moves without the crew.'
  • Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien, who referred to the studios as white-collar crime syndicates.
  • Use of fiery language such as 'solidarity is the solution to corporate greed' which implies a sense of unity among all unions when in fact there are different interests at play here.

Contradictions

  • Reservation Dogs received nominations for top categories in the 76th annual Emmy Awards.
  • Shotgun leads the pack for the 2024 Emmys nominations, setting several records in the process.
  • Shotgun led the nominations with 25, followed by The Bear at 23, Only Murders in the Building at 21 and True Detective: Night Country at 19.
  • The Emmys returned to their regular September slot after being delayed due to Hollywood strikes. The ceremony is on September 15 live on ABC.

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • Lynette Rice uses fiery language such as 'solidarity is the solution to corporate greed' which implies a sense of unity among all unions when in fact there are different interests at play here.
  • The title implies that IATSE and Teamsters leaders are rallying members of crew unions before AMPTP talks begin to shut down production if they don't get what they want. However, this is not entirely accurate as the article states that SAG-AFTRA and WGA were also present at the rally.
