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

75%

Examples:

  • But it's an equally poor business decision to not have announced a shoe for Wilson by now.
  • For anyone who follows the WNBA, Wilson is also known to have one of the most infectious personalities in the league.
  • Is it an assumption of potential Black spending power?
  • Wilson's signature shoe announcement is likely coming. But instead of invoking the feeling of being right on time like it does with Clark, for Wilson, it will be viewed as long overdue.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Junior and sophomore dominate on defense, impress past SC stars
  • The talented two-way player went from unsure of the college basketball lifestyle to one of the nation's elite players

Contradictions
