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 author seems to be trying to downplay any negative feelings between Reese and Clark by saying they don't hate each other. This is evident in statements such as 'I think people just take it like we hate each other.' However, there are examples of bias throughout the article.
  • The author uses language that dehumanizes one side as extreme or unreasonable when describing Reese pointing at her finger and making a hand gesture at Clark.

Conflicts of Interest

79%

Examples:

  • The author seems to be trying to downplay any negative feelings between Reese and Clark by saying they don't hate each other. This is evident in statements such as 'I think people just take it like we hate each other.' However, there are examples of bias throughout the article.
  • The author uses language that dehumanizes one side as extreme or unreasonable when describing Reese pointing at her finger and making a hand gesture at Clark.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The Lady Vols finished third in the SEC four straight seasons between 2020 and 2023.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The article states that Harper could never quite get the program back to an elite level despite winning 20 or more games four times and reaching the Sweet 16 twice. However, this statement is misleading as Tennessee did not have a roster with enough talent to compete at an elite level during her tenure.
  • The article states that South Carolina has won seven of the past nine SEC tournament titles, replacing Tennessee as the preeminent women's college basketball program. However, this statement is misleading as South Carolina did not win any national championships during this time period, making their success less significant than it may seem.
