The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • Free agents can officially sign their contracts at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13 when the new league year begins.
  • Saquon Barkley beefs with Tiki Barber
  • The work likely won't slow down for general manager Howie Roseman

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Barkley himself backed up those expectations by immediately declaring himself more than a running back.
  • Barkley, who ends his Giants career as the franchise's fourth all-time leading rusher with 5211 yards, walks away with only one playoff win.
  • He joined a team whose quarterback, Eli Manning, played two more forgettable seasons and was set to play behind a bad offensive line. The Giants never really fixed their quarterback or offensive line situations during Barkley's six seasons.
  • Injuries slowed him down the most
  • The high point came during his rookie season when he topped 2000 total yards and they finished 17th in total offense.
  • The Saquon Barkley era in New York never had a chance

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The title mentions that Saquon Barkley has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles but does not mention anything about him beefing with Tiki Barber. This is a lie by omission as it implies that there was no beef between them when in fact they had a disagreement which is not mentioned in the article.
  • The title mentions that Saquon Barkley has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles but does not mention anything about him extending his contract. This is another lie by omission as it implies that he did not extend his contract when in fact he did.
