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:

  • The author uses language that dehumanizes the victims of Wallen’s actions by referring to them as ‘two officers’. This is an example of disproportionate number of quotations reflecting a specific position.
  • This is an example of monetary bias as it implies that Wallen has the financial resources to continue touring despite being arrested.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The author quotes a Nickelodeon spokesperson who denies any wrongdoing on behalf of the company despite evidence to the contrary.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Kevin Costner announced he won’t be returning for the second half of ‘Yellowstone’s final season’.
  • 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

86%

Examples:

  • The author uses language that dehumanizes the victims and portrays them as weak for coming forward with their experiences.
  • The sentence ‘Morgan Wallen wins big at unconventional Billboard Music Awards’.
