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:

  • The article states that Bryan Malinowski was shot during a firefight with federal agents. However, another source claims that he had non-life-threatening injuries.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • One ATF agent received what police called a 'non-life-threatening gunshot wound'
  • The executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, was shot Tuesday

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The article states that Bryan Malinowski was shot Tuesday as federal agents were serving a search warrant. However, another source claims that he had non-life-threatening injuries.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The statement 'executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport was shot during a firefight with federal agents.' is misleading because there are no details about what led to the shooting or why the ATF agents arrived at Malinowski's home to serve a search warrant.
  • The statement 'Matthew Malinowski said his brother collected guns and other weapons, lived in an upper-middle class suburb and earned $253,000 a year.' is misleading because there are no details about what kind of weapons were found or why they were being loaded onto a trailer.
  • The statement 'neighbors also told KARK that on Tuesday evening they saw guns and ammunition being loaded onto a trailer' is deceptive because it implies that the firefighters had already arrived at Malinowski's home with weapons, but in reality, there are no details about what kind of weapons were found or why they were being loaded onto a trailer.
