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:
- CDOT warned motorists to be prepared for heavy localized snow and strong gusty winds after winter storm warnings and advisories were issued for much of Colorado. This example shows bias by the author's use of a passive voice that downplays their own role in issuing the alerts and implies that they are merely reporting facts rather than taking responsibility or expressing concern.
- Drivers can keep track of road conditions at cotrip.org. This example shows bias by the author's use of a neutral source (cotrip.org) to direct readers to for information, but then following it with an unnecessary and vague phrase ('for top stories from 9NEWS curated daily just for you') that implies that they are offering exclusive or superior content compared to other sources.
- Drivers should expect slow-going traffic and delays on I-70 mountain corridor. This example shows bias by the author's use of a negative tone to describe what drivers 'should expect', as if it is their fault or something they have no control over, rather than providing information that could help them plan ahead or find alternative routes.
- Eastbound commercial and passenger vehicle travel along I-70 and I-76 out of Denver is strongly discouraged. This example shows bias by the author's use of a strong word like 'discouraged', which implies that drivers are not only advised but also dissuaded from traveling, creating a sense of prohibition or restriction rather than caution.
- HOW TO ADD THE FREE 9NEWS APP TO YOUR STREAMING DEVICE. This example shows bias by the author's use of a self-promotional message (how to add the app) to advertise their own product, rather than providing information that could help readers stay informed or entertained during the storm.
- SUGGESTED VIDEOS: Latest from 9NEWS. This example shows bias by the author's use of a promotional tactic (suggested videos) to increase viewership and revenue for their station, rather than providing useful or relevant information that could help readers prepare for or cope with the weather conditions.
