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
80%
Examples:
- He had warned for months, he said, that the likelihood of an attack on a government official was ‘approaching certainty’. The attack had taken place, he said, in an atmosphere where the opposition’s ‘violent or hateful excesses’ against a democratically-elected government had been met with silence by international organisations.
- Mr Fico opposes military aid to Kyiv and says Vladimir Putin has been ‘wrongly demonised’ by the West. The opposition’s ‘violent or hateful excesses’ against a democratically-elected government had been met with silence by international organisations, he said, simply because opposition views were in line with Western policy on Ukraine.
- the Slovak prime minister laid the blame for the attack on Slovakia’s liberal opposition, the ‘anti-government media’ and foreign-funded NGOs for creating a climate of hatred and intolerance that made the shooting possible.
