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:

  • Conan O’Brien acknowledges in subtle ways, but pivots the conversation at every turn toward a certain graceful demonstration of gratitude. This is an example of religious bias as it implies that Conan O’Brien has a specific belief system and is grateful for it.
  • The author uses language such as 'absurdist pranks he did on the street' and 'flash memories', which dehumanizes those who hold certain beliefs or political ideologies.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The author's biography does not mention any conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Conan O’Brien returned to The Tonight Show after a much-followed period of corporate intrigue in 2010, which was set up for him to fail. This is an example of monetary bias as it implies that the show failed due to financial reasons.
  • The sentence 'Conan O’Brien returned to The Tonight Show.’ is deceptive because it implies that he came back on his own terms when in reality, NBC programmed a prime-time Leno series which led to his departure from the show.
  • The sentence 'He’d come a long way just to get to 30 Rockefeller Center in 2024’ is deceptive because it implies that O’Brien was able to return on his own terms when he was actually set up for failure by NBC.
  • The sentence 'O’Brien, after all, exited the show after only seven months,' is deceptive because it implies that he left The Tonight Show voluntarily when in reality, Leno replaced him.
