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
45%
Examples:
- Andreessen Horowitz had previously suggested that government regulation would determine which party receives their dollars.
- David Sacks, who previously said that Trump should be disqualified from office for his actions surrounding the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol, has now endorsed the former president.
- Elon Musk, who endorsed Trump Saturday after the assassination attempt against him, planned to send $45 million a month to a pro-Trump super PAC starting in July.
- If Musk is indeed planning to contribute tens of millions to Trump’s campaign monthly through the election, it’s hard to see how Biden can keep up.

Contradictions
90%
Examples:
- Israel and Hezbollah are preparing for the possibility that the hostilities on the border could escalate into a full-out war, one that could engulf the entire Middle East.
- Netanyahu also said that the military would be winding down its activities in Gaza imminently, but he may have no intention of signing a ceasefire deal anytime soon.
- Netanyahu appeared to rule out a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, which is a requirement of the proposed deal that President Joe Biden laid out last month that would return the remaining Israeli hostages.
Deceptions
40%
Examples:
- Biden has reportedly struggled with fundraising since his disastrous debate performance last month. Some donors think he should drop out and have promised to suspend donations to Democrats until he does so; others have paused contributions while they wait for assurance that he will not be replaced with another Democratic candidate.
- But there was one issue on which, even in 2017, they chafed with Democrats: They didn’t want the government to interfere in the operation of their businesses. And that might be driving at least some of the support for Trump among Silicon Valley elites this election cycle.
- Silicon Valley is still overwhelmingly Democratic.
- The few who supported Trump that year – such as venture capitalist Peter Thiel, the co-founder of Paypal and Palantir – did so knowing they were standing on a third rail, and many did not speak openly about it for fear of backlash that could hurt their businesses.
- The future of our business, the future of ... new technology, and the future of America is literally at stake.
