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:

  • Democrats may be heading toward a worst-case scenario
  • Far from easing anxieties about his candidacy
  • It is not plausible that Biden can surge in the polls between now and November.
  • Who's gonna be able to hold NATO together like me?

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

0%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • Biden grew more coherent as the interview continued, but he also became more detached from reality.
  • Far from easing anxieties about his candidacy, the president’s sit-down with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News should further alarm Democratic leaders.
  • Had Biden seemed every bit as ill and confused as he did at last week’s debate, it would be easier to persuade him to drop out – or at least for Democrats to unify behind a concerted push for his exit.
  • The president appeared too frail to defeat Trump and too delusional to end his campaign.
  • The president’s aim in Friday’s interview was clear: to establish that all the disquieting features of his debate performance – the incoherence, shaky voice, and vacant facial expressions – were all one-off aberrations brought on by a cold and poor preparation rather than symptoms of cognitive decline.
