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
80%
Examples:
- The article portrays Benny Gantz as an opposition leader who is critical of Netanyahu's handling of the religious draft crisis when in reality he was part of the government that formed just months ago. This is a deceptive representation because it implies that Gantz has been consistently against Netanyahu on this issue, which is not true.
- The article presents Haredim as being against military service and their exemption from conscription as a violation of equality when in reality they believe religious study contributes far more to Israel's safety than military service. This is a deceptive representation because it implies that the Haredim are opposed to serving in the military, which is not true.
- The article presents Netanyahu's request for more time as an attempt by him to delay this issue and avoid it altogether. This is a deceptive representation because it implies that Netanyahu has no intention of addressing this crisis and resolving the issue.
