Anthony

Anthony Fox was a former Jackson police officer who was sentenced to 5 years in prison for his role in the torture of two Black men.

His sister defended him by saying that they wanted him to make a plea where no jail time, then 20 years, then she dropped down to five because she saw she loses her voters. He had two other officers cleared of murder charges in his death.

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

50%

Examples:

  • The article also uses quotation marks around ‘Fox is my child’ to emphasize Fox's claim of loyalty and defiance. This is biased because it suggests that Fox was a victim rather than a perpetrator, when in fact he committed the most brutal and egregious acts in the incident with Jenkins and Parker.
  • The article also uses quotation marks around ‘til the fat lady singing’ to imply that Fox is not done causing trouble or facing consequences. This is biased because it portrays Fox as a rebel or a martyr, rather than a criminal who caused harm and suffering.
  • The article uses phrases such as ‘brutal and egregious acts’ to describe the crimes committed by Dedmon and his co-conspirators. This is biased because it implies that Dedmon was more responsible or worse than other members of the Goon Squad, when in fact they all participated in similar or identical crimes.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The article also does not disclose any potential conflicts of interest or biases that may have influenced its sources, such as Fox's sister, Clinton Police Chief Ford Hammond, or Judge Wooten. This is a lack of conflict of interest because it prevents the reader from evaluating the credibility and reliability of their statements.
  • The article also does not reveal any potential conflicts of interest or biases that may have influenced its use of quotations, such as Fox's claim that he was a perfect police officer, his mother's statement about him being a productive citizen, Robinson's sister's demand for accountability, or Judge Wooten's comment about character witnesses. This is a lack of conflict of interest because it influences the reader to perceive them in a certain way.
  • The article does not provide any evidence or comparison to support its claims about Dedmon's role in the crimes committed by him and his co-conspirators. This is a lack of conflict of interest because it fails to inform the reader about the facts and circumstances of their actions.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The article also contradicts itself by stating that Fox committed culpable negligence manslaughter, but then suggesting that he was bullied or intimidated by the prosecution. This is a major contradiction because it implies that Fox was innocent or wronged, rather than guilty and accountable.
  • The article also contradicts itself by stating that Robinson died of blunt-force trauma, but then implying that his death was caused by contact with police during a manhunt for a murder suspect. This is a major contradiction because it suggests that the police were responsible or negligent, rather than Fox and his co-conspirators.
  • The article contradicts itself by stating that Dedmon committed the most brutal and egregious acts in the incident with Jenkins and Parker, but then implying that he was less responsible or worse than other members of the Goon Squad. This is a major contradiction because it undermines the severity of his crimes and suggests that he was not a leader or an instigator.

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • The article also uses deception by exaggeration and implication to suggest that Fox was bullied or intimidated by the prosecution, rather than facing justice for his crimes. This is deceptive because it undermines the legitimacy and fairness of the trial.
  • The article also uses deception by selectivity and emphasis to create contrast between Dedmon and other members of the Goon Squad, rather than showing their similarity or identity. This is deceptive because it manipulates the reader's perception of their severity and culpability.
  • The article uses deception by omission and distortion to portray Fox as a victim or a rebel, rather than a criminal who caused harm and suffering. This is deceptive because it misleads the reader about his role and responsibility in Robinson's death.
