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

7%

Examples:

  • Justices Thomas and Alito have increasingly been acting as though they are beyond oversight — to such an extraordinary degree that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) filed articles of impeachment against justices Alito and Thomas.
  • The conservative justices have acted swiftly to tear down enduring pillars of our legal system, suggesting they may only be getting started.
  • The majority thinks he should [former President Donald Trump], and so it invents an atextual, ahistorical, and unjustifiable immunity that puts the President above the law.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The term ended with the Supreme Court's conservative justices handing major victories to former President Donald Trump and his right-wing supporters.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The Court ruled in favor of a January 6 rioter, which could impact cases pending against hundreds of others who were charged with participating in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • Justices Thomas and Alito have increasingly been acting as though they are beyond oversight — to such an extraordinary degree that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) filed articles of impeachment against justices Alito and Thomas.
  • The Court now confronts a question it has never had to answer in the Nation's history: whether a former President enjoys immunity from federal criminal prosecution. The majority thinks he should, and so it invents an atextual, ahistorical, and unjustifiable immunity that puts the President above the law.
  • The term ended with the Supreme Court's conservative justices handing major victories to former President Donald Trump and his right-wing supporters.
