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

85%

Examples:

  • For example, existing Federal Title VII law prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex...
  • This is an example of how complex materiality is...perhaps a wake-up call about the criticality of business fundamentals (i.e., revenue generation) to operations and investors.
  • Yet it can be seen as Tractor Supply getting back to retail business fundamentals; that is, serving customers well without the distractions of non-core activities that don't advance business objectives.

Conflicts of Interest

Examples:

  • It gets plenty of kudos from Forbes, including being named to Forbes' 2024 Customer Experience All-Stars list as well as its 2024 Best Customer Service, Best Brands for Social Impact and America's Best Large Employers lists

Contradictions

10%

Examples:

  • Tractor Supply once touted its diversity and inclusion efforts as part of an attempt to broaden its appeal to younger consumers.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • Others condemned the company's about-face 'Tractor Supply Co. is turning its back on their own neighbors with this shortsighted decision'
  • The company will no longer sponsor 'nonbusiness' activities such as pride festivals and voting campaigns
