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:

  • Jill Campbell described attempting to board the vessel after arriving late: “We have never had an experience like this before,”. She also said that they were only members of the group with a Visa card and had paid more than $5,000 in their attempts to reach the ship.
  • The article implies that all eight guests had rejoined the ship before leaving São Tomé and Príncipe, which contradicts what was stated in the title. This is a lie by omission.
  • The Campbells aimed to reboard the Norwegian Dawn in Banjul, Gambia but low tides prevented it from making a scheduled stop. They eventually met the ship again in Dakar, Senegal.
  • Violeta Sanders described being strandled and having no money or credit cards accepted.
