The Daily's Verdict

This author 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 the author's reporting.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The article states 'Higher amounts of 3 to 6 inches piled up in parts of eastern Kentucky and across the terrain of West Virginia.' However, this statement is misleading as it implies that all these regions experienced the same amount of snowfall when in reality some areas received more or less than this.
  • The article states 'nearly 30% of the US population' is under winter weather alerts across the Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that all these regions are experiencing extreme conditions when in reality only a small portion of them are affected by snowfall.
  • The article states 'Snow continued to fall across Washington, DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia Friday afternoon.' However, this statement is misleading as it implies that all three cities were experiencing heavy snowfall when in reality only one city was affected by the storm.
