About

Hit piece about Zoe Quinn’s harassment, without disclosing she was supporting Quinn and her agent Maya Kramer on Patreon. Disclosure was added four days after the original article, claiming the Guardian had removed it from Frank's original draft against her will, but only describing Frank as "having purchased Quinn's work", without mentioning she had also paid for Quinn’s hotel room at GDC 2014 to the tune of one thousand dollars.

About

Claimed that harassment caused Brianna Wu to leave her home, even stating that she didn't know when she'd be able to return home, despite her history of farfetched claims and the ambiguous circumstances of the doxing, and never updated the article despite the the very strong evidence that, apart from an already planned weekend at Comicon, she had never actually left her home, aside from the numerous outrageous claims and apparent false flags that mined Wu’s credibility afterwards.

About

His article "Even teenage boys are sick of sexist video games, survey finds" quotes a discredited survey. The survey’s numerous flaws include: no peer review, very loaded questions, and being taken exclusively over social media with no way to check if the sample truly consisted of the projected demographic of teens (who couldn’t take the survey without adult consent anyway). The survey’s author, too, partially backpedaled on it and admitted it had no claim of academic legitimacy, its only goal having been to start a discussion.

Dishonesty and Sensationalism emblems may be based on subjective criteria.
