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

95%

Examples:

  • Consolidation around Vice President Harris will not guarantee victory in November. No option is free of risk at this point. But this is our clearest path to win. We should take it.
  • The memo adds that Harris could improve polling with Black and younger voters, an area the memo claims Biden is bleeding.
  • The memo goes into detail on Harris's polling, which it concludes is 'fairly hazy' because 'no one anticipated... the possibility that we'd be debating a new nominee.'

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The memo goes into detail on Harris's polling, which it concludes is 'fairly hazy' because 'no one anticipated... the possibility that we'd be debating a new nominee.'

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Harris has been 'vetted and scrutinized' unlike other candidates, according to the memo, and has faced no major scandals.
  • Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., believes Vice President Harris is the only viable Democratic candidate if President Biden steps down.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • Tim Dicketo asked the informant, who had met and chatted with Prieto at the Crossroads of the West gun shows over the past three years, if he was 'ready to kill a bunch of people' in late 2023. The informant said that Priest had allegedly begun advocating for mass shootings against 'Blacks, Jews, or Muslims', and that he believed, the shooting should take place before martial law is enacted following the 2024 election.
