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

88%

Examples:

  • Climate justice is an everyone issue. It affects every dimension of identity, because it's rooted in the same struggles of imperialism, capitalism – things like that. I think that's very true of this conflict.
  • In many students' eyes, the war in Gaza is linked to other issues, such as policing, mistreatment of Indigenous people, racism and the impact of climate change.
  • They believe that none of us can be free and have the respect and dignity we deserve unless all of us are free.

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

81%

Examples:

  • In 1968, the Democratic National Convention was overshadowed by violence between police and antiwar protesters.
  • Protests over Israel's war in Gaza are intensifying, especially on college campuses.
  • Republicans may exploit images of disorder during the convention to portray Biden as not in command.
  • The war in Gaza has resulted in over 34,000 deaths according to local health authorities.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • But for many, the issues are closer to home, and at the same time, much bigger and broader. In their eyes, the Gaza conflict is a struggle for justice.
  • Climate justice is an everyone issue. It affects every dimension of identity
  • It's in our name: mutual liberation.
  • Many protesters have rebuffed entreaties from university administrators
  • That means we're antiracist, anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist organization.
  • The war is taking place in a land they've never set foot in, where those killed – 34,000 so far, according to local health authorities – are known to them only through what they have read or seen online.
