The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

60%

Examples:

  • The author mentions in the first paragraph that 'the repeated rounds of rain and slow moving nature of second storm will bring a significant threat for flooding'. However, it only talks about one long lasting atmospheric river event.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The state is still recovering from a particularly potent storm that brought record-breaking rain and hundreds of mudslides to Los Angeles and other parts of Southern California in early February.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Rainfall totals of up to 6 inches are forecast in coastal areas from Saturday through Wednesday with the highest peaks expected to see up to 12 inches. The National Weather Service office in Los Angeles said that rainfall rates in this region have the potential to reach over 1 inch per hour.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The title of the article is 'Back-to-back storms set to hit an already drenched California', but the body states that two storms are coming, not back-to-back.
