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

20%

Examples:

  • Democrats would be foolish to think the weirdness factor alone is enough to defeat Trump and Vance.
  • It would be strange for Democrats to attack the Republican presidential ticket for being 'weird' if it wasn't true. But those men are getting weirder by the day.
  • Republicans, meanwhile, are struggling to settle on a new strategy. They were all set to run against Biden’s age and fragility. Now, the instinct of some MAGA zealots is to run against Harris’s race and gender – calling her a ‘DEI hire’, for example, using ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ as shorthand for ‘Black, Asian American and female.’

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • But those men are getting weirder by the day.
  • It would be strange for Democrats to attack the Republican presidential ticket for being 'weird' if it wasn't true. But those men are getting weirder by the day.
  • JD Vance Is a Creep (Who Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide).
  • My god, they went after cat people. Good luck with that.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Donald Trump insists on his self-proclaimed infallibility despite criticism of his ignorance of basic physics in the boat story.
  • JD Vance argued that parents should be able to cast an extra ballot for each child in their family who is under voting age.
  • JD Vance called Democrats 'a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they’ve made.',

Deceptions
