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

85%

Examples:

  • most people should start screening with colonoscopies by age 45
  • my friend's memory always on my mind

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author claims that 'colon cancer may seem like a distant concern for some people, but with the growing trend of younger people being diagnosed, staying informed and proactive is crucial.' This statement is misleading as more young people are being diagnosed with colon cancer every year.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Being obese, having type two diabetes, smoking are all associated with a greater risk of developing colon cancer but they don't directly lead to it.
  • Rates of colon-cancer cases have been rising among younger people since the '90s

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article mentions anecdotes to promote early screening and preventative measures which can be misleading as not everyone needs an early colonoscopy.
  • The author states that 'a new blood-based screening test for colon cancer boasted an 83% effectiveness in detecting the disease, according to a study published March 13 in The New England Journal of Medicine.' However, this is still in development and has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration yet.
