The Daily's Verdict

This news site 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 its reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The article contains gendered language when describing Jia's relationship with Kong.
  • The author uses language that dehumanizes the Scar King and his army.
  • Trapper is introduced as a veterinarian who specializes in Titan physiology but there are no details about his background or expertise.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Argylle officially premieres in movie theaters on Feb. 2, 2024.
  • The author uses language that dehumanizes the Scar King and his army.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Argylle star Henry Cavill claims he wanted his eponymous secret agent to be completely different from any version of James Bond.
  • In March 2023, Majors was arrested for allegedly attacking his then-girlfriend and he subsequently went on trial on charges of assault and harassment. He was found guilty.
  • The film is labeled as 'rotten' by the review aggregator website, falling beneath 2021's The King's Man score of 40%.
  • The majority of Rotten Tomatoes-approved critics have given negative reviews for the film, with some pulling no punches in their criticism.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

This is misleading as it suggests that his legal troubles have not affected his career prospects when they clearly have.
  • The author states that Argylle has amassed a readership of over 60 million users, but this information is outdated and inaccurate.
