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

85%

Examples:

  • Despite that, the streaming service still got 107 nominations (the most of any one network/platform.).
  • Elsewhere Shooter became the second series not in English to receive an Outstanding Drama Series nomination, continuing the momentum for more international series to be recognized at the Primetime Emmys, rather than being held for the International Emmys.
  • Given the honor, there is now even more hope that Netflix will take over the show rights and greenlight a second season of Scavengers Reign, so that the show can continue to be recognized by the TV Academy for years to come.
  • It is easy to say that it was served by HBO's vast array of Emmy-nominated dramas - last year, House of the Dragon and Succession were both nominated for Outstanding Drama Series.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

90%

Examples:

  • The upcoming five years have seen a rollercoaster for the television industry, including a global pandemic and work stoppages.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • Despite that, the streaming service still got 107 nominations (the most of any one network/platform).
  • For only the second time since it began making original programming Netflix has been shut out of the Outstanding Comedy Series category.
  • It is easy to say that it was served by HBO's vast array of Emmy-nominated dramas
  • To say these past five years have been a rollercoaster for the television industry would be an understatement.
