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 article presents examples of how laws have been implemented requiring gates around pools to stop a wandering child from drowning. However, these laws are not always effective in preventing accidents caused by children.
  • , The article states that holding parents criminally liable for more serious offenses like a school shooting could serve as a deterrent and warning about safely securing guns. However, this ignores the fact that laws have been on the books since at least 1846, when Hawaii passed a law that essentially holds parents financially responsible for the actions of their minor children.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Most states designate this as a misdemeanor offense, typically punishable by a fine and/or jail time from six months to a year.
  • , The prosecution accused the Crumbleys of not securing a newly purchased gun in their home

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The article claims that air traffic control falls under discretionary spending but still continues during a shutdown which is not accurate.
  • , The article claims that if Congress has already approved some but not all 12 appropriations bills then a partial government shutdown would occur. However, this statement contradicts itself by stating that each government agency has its own protocols in case of a government shutdown and services considered essential under discretionary funding would continue.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article presents examples of how laws have been implemented requiring gates around pools to stop a wandering child from drowning. However, these laws are not always effective in preventing accidents caused by children.
  • , The article states that holding parents criminally liable for more serious offenses like a school shooting could serve as a deterrent and warning about safely securing guns.
