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:

  • [[Christopher Brito]] I know they were cheering for Rune, but that's an excuse to also boo.[[Novak Djokovic]] ... I focus on the respectful people that have respect, that paid the ticket to come and watch tonight, and love tennis and appreciate the players and the effort that the players put in here.[
  • [Christopher Brito] To all those people who have chosen to disrespect a player, in this case, me, have a good night.[/]
  • [The author uses language that dehumanizes the victims of Wallen's actions by referring to them as 'two officers']

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The documentary portrayed Schneider as vindictive, volatile and hard to sway.
  • This is an example of disproportionate number of quotations reflecting a specific position. Additionally, the author mentions Wallen's arrest coming after he kicked off his One Night At A Time Tour on Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and that it will be in Nashville for concert dates from May 2 through May 4. This is an example of monetary bias as it implies that Wallen has the financial resources to continue touring despite being arrested.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Fans cheering for Holger Rune could be heard saying 'Ruuune', which sounded similar to boo chants according to Novak Djokovic.
  • Kevin Costner announced he won't be returning for the second half of 'Yellowstone’s final season'.
  • Novak Djokovic accused the Wimbledon crowd of 'disrespect' after some fans booed him.
  • The title implies that Morgan Wallen was arrested on felony charges for throwing a chair from a bar rooftop. However, upon reading further into the body of the article it becomes clear that he was only charged with three reckless endangerment charges and one disorderly conduct charge.

Deceptions

100%

Examples:

  • The sentence 'Morgan Wallen wins big at unconventional Billboard Music Awards
  • The title implies that Morgan Wallen was arrested on felony charges for throwing a chair from a bar rooftop. However, upon reading further into the body of the article it becomes clear that he was only charged with three reckless endangerment charges and one disorderly conduct charge.
