The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

0%

Examples:

  • The article does not display any significant bias.

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

  • No conflicts of interest are displayed in the article.

Contradictions

10%

Examples:

  • The article states that two Conservative election candidates are under investigation by the gambling watchdog, but also states that Sir Philip told the newspaper he expected to lose the seat on a specific date. This could be seen as contradictory if Sir Philip was claiming he would win and also expecting to lose.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article also states that when contacted by the BBC, Sir Philip did not offer any further comment. This could be seen as deceptive because it suggests that Sir Philip is avoiding answering questions or providing clarification.
  • The article states that the report about Sir Philip came after several parliamentary candidates were accused of placing bets surrounding the date or outcome of the election. This could be seen as deceptive because it implies a connection between Sir Philip and those other candidates without providing evidence for such a connection.
