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 author does not provide any context or evidence for his claims, making them seem more like opinions than facts.
  • The author seems to have a bias towards sensationalism and exaggeration by using words like ‘massive’ and ‘wreak havoc’. He also uses emotional language such as ‘historic snowstorm’ and ‘record February heat wave.

Conflicts of Interest

25%

Examples:

  • There is no evidence of any conflict of interest in this article. The author seems to be a general news reporter and does not have any personal stake or bias in the topics he covers.
  • The source of the article also appears to be a reputable news outlet, ABC News.

Contradictions

55%

Examples:

  • The article contradicts itself by stating that a winter storm is on its way to the upper Midwest while also saying that a severe weather outbreak will affect the South. These are two different regions and events that cannot happen at the same time.
  • The author does not explain how these two phenomena are related or why they are happening simultaneously.

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • The article also contains some factual errors, such as stating that Minneapolis is forecast to get up to 2 feet of snow when in reality it could be much higher. This could mislead the readers about the severity and impact of the storm.
  • The author uses deceptive practices by not providing enough details and context for his claims. He does not support his statements with facts or data and relies on emotional language to appeal to the reader's senses.
