Bias we have measured on this byline
Anonymous sourcing The account of the fall rests on what police are 'understood' to believe. No source is named. ×1Asserted vs attributed States the gang link and the torture flat, about men not yet charged. ×1Detail with no source The account of the lost drugs is introduced with 'it has emerged', which names no one. ×1Headline attributes, body does not The headline credits the belief to gardaí. The body sources it to unnamed 'sources', then states the torture flat. ×1

Two independent readings, each made without the masthead, with the quote attached to every tag. We do not carry a rating for any
journalist — only what we have measured from published text, and a verdict on a
claim is a verdict on that sentence, not on the person who filed it.
