Bias

50%

Examples:

  • The article uses exaggerated phrases like 'some possible thunderstorms— that could produce hail, light rain in Denver— which is misleading as it implies a higher risk than what the actual weather forecast shows.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The article does not disclose any potential sources of funding or support from weather-related companies or organizations that could influence their reporting.
  • The article seems to be sponsored by or affiliated with the Pinpoint Weather team and may have a conflict of interest in promoting their alerts.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Snow will end early Monday but there could be some slick roads particularly west of Denver into the Foothills, and south of the city across the Palmer Divide. A Pinpoint Weather Alert Day has been issued for Monday morning due to possibly slick roads.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:
