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.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • The article is biased towards the safety of the passengers and crew on board. It mentions that a Southwest Airlines flight safely returned to Denver International Airport after an engine cowling fell off and struck the wing flap during takeoff which could have been catastrophic if not caught early.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The article has a conflict of interest because Xcel is quoted saying that restoration may take time and could extend into Monday or even longer, which implies they do not know for certain when power will be restored.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The article contradicts itself by stating that a Southwest Airlines flight safely returned to Denver International Airport after an engine cowling fell off and struck the wing flap during takeoff which could have been catastrophic if not caught early. However, there are no details about what exactly happened or how close it came to being disastrous.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that around 150,000 customers are affected but fails to mention those who were preemptively shut off as a safety measure. It also implies that power outages will continue into Monday when Xcel has stated that they may be resolved by then.
