The Daily's Verdict

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

Bias

50%

Examples:

  • The article seems to be biased towards the Idaho Dairyman's Association (ISDA) and their perspective on the avian influenza outbreak. The article does not provide any alternative sources or perspectives that could challenge or question the ISDA's claims.
  • The title of the article also implies a sense of urgency and alarm, which may be exaggerated given that there is no known risk to human health from this strain of avian influenza.

Conflicts of Interest

40%

Examples:

  • However, there are no other signs of conflicts of interest in the article.
  • The only conflict of interest I found in the article is that it quotes Jenee' Ryan, who is also an anchor for CBS2 News. This could create a potential bias or perceived bias on her part.

Contradictions

65%

Examples:

  • The first contradiction I found in the article is that it states that HPAI can be transmitted from cow to cow as well as infected birds. However, this contradicts the second contradiction I found, which says that there is no concern about the safety of commercial milk supply to consumer health at this time.
  • This suggests a lack of clarity and consistency in how the article presents information on HPAI.

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • The first deception I found in the article is that it uses the term ‘highly pathogenic avian influenza’ which implies a serious threat to human health. However, this contradicts the second deception I found, which says that there is no known risk to human health from this strain of HPAI.
  • This creates a sense of fear and alarm in the reader without providing accurate or complete information.
