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:

  • The article contains sensationalism and selective reporting as it only mentions Rice’s involvement in the crash without providing any context on why he was driving one of the sports cars. This is a deceptive practice as it implies that Rice is solely responsible for the accident without considering other factors or individuals involved.
  • The authors claim that Knox is identified by Dallas police as 21-year-old Theodore Knox when it is unclear if he has an attorney or if he was actually identified by police. This is a lie of omission as the article fails to provide any context on why Knox was not charged with anything despite being involved in the crash.
  • The authors claim that Rashee Rice faces eight charges when in fact he only faces one count of aggravated assault and six counts of collision involving injury. This is a lie by omission as they fail to provide any evidence or context for why Rice was charged with these additional counts.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The article does not provide any information on the potential conflict of interest between Rice’s employer, the Kansas City Chiefs, and their involvement in the crash. This is a lack of transparency as it leaves readers wondering if there are any hidden motives or agendas behind the reporting.
  • The authors do not disclose that they work for The Dallas Morning News, which is a competitor of The Kansas City Star, where Rice’s former teammate and friend, Tyreek Hill, works. This is a potential conflict of interest as it raises questions on whether the article was biased against Rice or his team.
  • The authors do not mention that Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia is a supporter of The Kansas City Chiefs and has attended their games in the past. This is another potential conflict of interest as it suggests that he may have a personal stake or bias in the case.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia said in a statement sent to The Dallas Morning News that the investigation has no timeline and will not be pressured.
  • ]This case was conducted as all cases are conducted, thorough and fair, as that is what all victims deserve, and what our city demands[

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article contains several deceptive practices such as omitting important information, lying by omission, and sensationalizing the story. These are all unethical journalistic practices that undermine the credibility and trustworthiness of the author.
  • The article does not mention that Rice was driving one of the sports cars as part of his job as a personal driver for an NFL player, which may have contributed to the accident or raised questions about his responsibility. This is another deceptive practice as it omits relevant information that could affect how readers perceive the case.
  • The authors do not provide any context or evidence for their claims about Knox’s involvement in the crash or why he was not charged with anything. This is a deceptive practice as it leaves readers with false impressions and assumptions without any justification.
