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:

  • Sinema won in 2018 as a Democrat, becoming the first non-Republican to win an Arizona Senate seat since 1988.
  • The author claims that compromise is a dirty word.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's decision to run for re-election as an independent is a conflict of interest with her previous affiliation with the Democratic Party.
  • The author does not provide any information about potential conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Her position as a centrist swing vote allowed her to play an outsized role in major legislation like the bipartisan infrastructure law, the Inflation Reduction Act and the $280 billion Chips and Science Act.
  • In December 2021, Sen. Sinema announced she would leave the Democratic Party and become an independent.
  • When Sen. Sinema stood in the way of the Democratic attempt to repeal the filibuster in 2022, she was censured by her own party.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author claims that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's path to victory was extremely narrow when in fact, polling shows her pulling far more Republican voters than Democrat voters.
  • The headline of the article states that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema will not seek a second term, but this is false as she has previously announced her intention to run for re-election.
