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

88%

Examples:

  • The author occasionally presents information in a way that may favor certain teams or players (e.g., implying that Anthony Edwards single-handedly led the offense in one game).

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

90%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author mentions that the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers evened their respective series in Game 4 on Sunday. However, they also mentioned that Nikola Jokic scored 35 points in the Nuggets' win over the Timberwolves. This is a contradiction because if Jokic scored 35 points against the Timberwolves, it means that the Pacers and Nuggets didn't actually even their series in Game 4.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The author's title for one article is deceptive as it implies that Anthony Edwards dislocated his finger on a poster dunk over John Collins when in fact he did not dislocate it.
