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 article uses language that dehumanizes migrants by referring to them as 'migrants' instead of people seeking refugee status.
  • The authors claim that 'the larger pattern is clear: Whenever one party wins control of the central government, the other party uses its control of various states to try to resist national policies.' This statement is misleading as it implies that this has never happened before when in fact there have been instances where both parties have engaged in such actions.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The article claims that 'a number of hot-button issues have become proxy battles over who gets to decide.' However, this is not true as it implies that all states are doing this when in fact only red states controlled by one party are engaging in such actions.

Contradictions

90%

Examples:

  • Red states have gone to court to thwart various efforts by the Biden administration, including regulating methane emissions from oil and gas drilling, blocking humanitarian entry for migrants from specific countries, halting an effort to crack down on gun accessories.
  • The Democrat-appointed justices indicated greater concern about opening the door for presidents to commit official crimes with impunity.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The article claims that 'the political issues run the gamut' but they only mention a few examples which are not representative of all political issues.
  • The authors claim that 'the larger pattern is clear: Whenever one party wins control of the central government, the other party uses its control of various states to try to resist national policies.' This statement is misleading as it implies that this has never happened before when in fact there have been instances where both parties have engaged in such actions.
