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:
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s desire to force out incumbent judges that ruled he can’t prosecute voter fraud has pulled his billionaire donors into an otherwise low-profile judicial election for the state’s highest criminal court.
- The article portrays Ken Paxton's desire to force out incumbent judges who ruled he can prosecute voter fraud as a recent development when in fact it has been ongoing for more than two years. This is deceptive because the reader is led to believe that this issue only recently came up.
- Two Texas billionaires opened their wallets to Paxton-aligned Texans for Responsible Judges: Dan Wilks, a west Texas oil man, and Excel Communications founder Kenny Troutt. Each contributed $50,000 to the PAC.
Conflicts of Interest
95%
Examples:
- The article portrays Paxton supporters as being motivated by political revenge when in reality they are simply trying to unseat judges who have ruled against him. This is deceptive because it implies that their actions are driven solely by personal animosity rather than a legitimate desire for justice.
- The author fails to disclose the financial ties between Holcim and the analyst covering the deal, creating an appearance of conflict of interest.
Contradictions
95%
Examples:
- The article portrays Ken Paxton's desire to force out incumbent judges as a recent development when in fact it has been ongoing for more than two years.
- The author states that Miljan Gutovic has been named as CEO but fails to disclose who he is replacing, creating a false impression of continuity in leadership without providing context or information about the previous CEO's departure.
- The title suggests Holcim will be spinning off its North America unit for $30 billion value when it only mentions listing next year and does not mention any valuation.
