The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

50%

Examples:

  • The article also seems to favor Donald Trump over other Republicans, as it highlights his speech at CPAC and reports on his polling lead against Biden.
  • The article has a slight bias towards the Republican Party and its candidates. It uses positive language to describe their actions and achievements, while using negative or neutral terms for their opponents.

Conflicts of Interest

30%

Examples:

  • The article does not disclose any clear conflicts of interest for the author or the sources cited. However, it does mention a report that suggests that Nikki Haley accused Trump of using the RNC as a “Piggy Bank” for his legal costs.
  • This could be seen as a potential conflict of interest, as Haley is also running for president and may have ulterior motives in attacking her former ally.

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

  • The article contradicts itself by claiming that the Senate approved a $1.2 trillion spending package to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year, while also saying that there was no vote taken until after midnight.
  • This implies that either one or both of these statements are false.

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • It also implies that Haley is still loyal to Trump, despite her recent criticism and pledge to support other Republicans.
  • The article uses deceptive practices by omitting or misrepresenting important facts that could affect the reader's understanding of the news. For example, it claims that Trump leads Biden by four points in a poll, without providing any source or date for this claim.
