Bias

88%

Examples:

  • The article seems to favor the studios' perspective, emphasizing the potential negative impact of the strike.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Jordan Ruimy has written for various media outlets such as The Playlist, Awards Daily, IndieWire, and The Film Stage. This may create a conflict of interest if he covers those outlets' content on World of Reel.
  • World of Reel is approved by Tomatometer and has interviewed award-winning actors and directors. This could potentially lead to conflicts of interest.

Examples:

  • Coppola spent $120 million on its production. This contradicts another article that states Horizon's budget is over $90 million.

Deceptions

88%

Examples:

  • French critics seem split on Anora, whereas U.S. critics are backing it fully.
  • There is no reason to believe that the movie itself is better in any size of screen for all people.
