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

88%

Examples:

  • Muddled media coverage and the White House's communication about the role of Kamala Harris as the 'border czar' contributed to confusion.
  • Right-wing media, anti-immigrant activists, and Republican politicians have been using the label for Vice President Harris for years.

Conflicts of Interest

90%

Examples:

  • Christian Paz joined Vox in 2022 after reporting on national and international politics for The Atlantic's politics, global, and ideas teams.
  • Paz has covered the role of Latino voters in the 2020 election.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Approximately 1.1 million spouses of US citizens are ineligible for the new policy change.
  • Republicans criticized the executive order as a cynical bid to win over Hispanic and Latino voters ahead of the November election.

Deceptions

58%

Examples:

  • Referring to Harris as the 'border czar' isn't new. Right-wing spin, media fascination during Harris's early tenure, miscommunication from the White House, and growing migrant surges during the Biden presidency have all made that label stick.
