The Daily's Verdict

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The author uses language such as 'barricaded gunman', which dehumanizes the shooter's parents and implies they are dangerous criminals rather than people who have been accused of a crime.
  • The encampment created multiple legal, health, and safety challenges that disrupted our operations and required us to shift to remote operations this week.
  • There are three people responsible for the deaths.

Conflicts of Interest

85%
