The Daily's Verdict

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

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • The author does not clearly distinguish between Hamas' actions and civilian casualties in some instances.
  • The author reports information from the Israeli perspective without providing enough counter-arguments or context from the Palestinian side.
  • The author uses phrases that can be seen as sympathetic to the Israeli side, such as 'Hamas-run ministry of health' and 'Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said'

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author mentions that 'Dangerously hot weather is expected to continue with temperatures of 118F (47C) forecast in some areas until early next week.' This statement can be seen as an exaggeration of the situation.
  • The author quotes a person saying, 'The last thing we need is somebody who’s purchased fireworks from a local fire stand going out and doing something stupid,' which seems to be an attempt to discourage any potential arson incidents but can also be interpreted as deceptive.
  • The author reports that 'About 28,000 people were under evacuation warnings or orders on Thursday' when the actual number was closer to 30,000.
