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 author presents a false dichotomy between Bukele's Bitcoin project and its impact on poverty alleviation when there are other factors contributing to economic hardship such as rising food prices. For example, the cost of the basic food basket has risen by about $50 in the last four years.
  • The author uses emotional manipulation by portraying Maria as an innocent victim of government corruption without providing any evidence for this claim. For instance, there is no mention or quote from Maria that supports this assertion.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • President Nayib Bukele said on Thursday that El Salvador will transfer 'a big chunk' of its bitcoin assets to an offline device that will be stored in a physical vault within the Central American country's territory

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author fails to disclose that he is an employee of Open Democracy, which may have a bias against Bukele's government.
