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

50%

Examples:

  • The article does not take a clear side in the longstanding conflict between India and Sikh separatists.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The author, Amanda Coletta, previously worked for the Economist and the Wall Street Journal. It is not clear if these previous positions could have influenced her current reporting on Canada and the Caribbean.

Contradictions

15%

Examples:

  • The article states that Hardeep Singh Nijjar was a prominent local leader in the Khalistan movement, yet it also mentions that the three men arrested are Indian citizens. This could be seen as contradictory because Nijjar's involvement with the Khalistan movement might suggest a connection to Pakistan, which is in conflict with India.

Deceptions

100%
