The Daily's Verdict

Bias

98%

Examples:

  • At a time when things are bad, you are choosing to make things worse.
  • One of those politicians is Trump’s new running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, who posted on Saturday, ‘Today is not just some isolated incident. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.’
  • Speaking plainly about the specter of authoritarianism is not only our democratic right, it’s our civic duty.
  • You’re also wrong.

  • You know, Kristi could be an interesting pick for VP, because on one hand, she shot a dog, which you really can’t do… But on the other hand, she shot a dog, which is pretty awesome.
