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:

  • Silicon Valley first emerged thanks to tons of Pentagon funding and proximity to the conservative bastion of Stanford University.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • A significant chunk of Silicon Valley money and power is lining up behind Donald Trump just as he has chosen a former venture capitalist as his running mate.
  • For little tech, we think Donald Trump is actually the right choice.
  • Trump's VP pick, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance – who once worked for Peter Thiel's VC firm – has praised Biden's FTC chair, Lina Khan, for her efforts to crack down on Big Tech power.

Contradictions

87%

Examples:

  • J.D. Vance and other Republicans, along with some Democrats, have also taken aim at Section 230 - the law that protects online platforms from being sued over the content of users' posts.
  • Trump and his allies have so far taken a traditional conservative approach when it comes to rules for AI and crypto, wanting the government to stay hands-off. However, they have a longstanding beef with social media platforms like Google and Facebook.

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • A significant chunk of Silicon Valley money and power is lining up behind Donald Trump just as he has chosen a former venture capitalist as his running mate.
  • For little tech, we think Donald Trump is actually the right choice.
