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

100%

Examples:

  • The author seems to have a bias towards the BART police and their actions on that day. She does not question or challenge their version of events and presents them as factual without any critical analysis.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author does not disclose any potential conflicts of interest or connections to the BART police or their supporters that could influence her reporting. This creates a lack of transparency and trustworthiness in her work.

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

Deceptions

30%

Examples:
