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

86%

Examples:

  • The author implies that Rebecca Ferguson's emotional state is due to an unnamed person on set, despite her own admission of not caring about it.
  • The author uses language that dehumanizes one side as extreme or unreasonable by referring to an 'absolute idiot' co-star.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Fede Alvarez hired numerous creatives who worked on James Cameron's Aliens to work on the puppeteering and creature effects for Romulus.

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • The article claims that Rebecca Ferguson revealed a moment on set where she felt proud for standing up and letting her voice be heard. However, this statement is not accurate as Ferguson did not reveal any such moment during an interview with Josh Smith or The Jess Cagle Show.
  • The article states that the unnamed co-star who was number one on the call sheet screamed at and belittled Rebecca Ferguson in front of the crew. However, this statement is also not accurate as there is no evidence to support it.

Deceptions

62%

Examples:

  • The author claims that face-to-face encounters with creatures will be done using practical effects but later states they minimized green screen use to build every creature and set in the film. This is a lie by omission.
