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

92%

Examples:

  • The author has a slight tendency to present information in a neutral manner with minimal personal opinions or judgments.
  • The author often includes quotes from various sources, which can provide different perspectives on the same topic.

Conflicts of Interest

67%

Examples:

  • In one article, the author mentions Blue Origin's much larger rocket, New Glenn, which is designed to compete with SpaceX's Falcon 9 in the business of launching commercial and government satellites into Earth's orbit and beyond. However, this competition is not emphasized as a potential conflict of interest.
  • The author has mentioned Jeff Bezos, the founder of Blue Origin, in a positive context without highlighting any potential conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • In another article, it is mentioned that Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket was grounded due to a mid-flight failure in September 2022, but also that the FAA required Blue Origin to take 21 corrective actions including an engine redesign and 'organizational changes'.
  • In one article, the author states that a White House directive led NASA to create a time standard for the moon; however, they also mention that China and Russia have not signed the Artemis Accords which involve how countries act in space and on the moon.

Deceptions

67%

Examples:

  • In another article, the author mentions that Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket returned to flight in December 2023 with an uncrewed mission, carrying 33 science and research payloads to the edge of space. This statement can be considered deceptive as it does not mention that this was a successful test flight after the previous failure.
  • The author states that Blue Origin has flown 37 private astronauts including William Shatner; however, this statement can be considered deceptive as it does not include the fact that these were all space tourism flights and not scientific or research missions.
