Bias

Conflicts of Interest

Examples:

  • The article states that 'the Sewickley Bridge has reopened'. This is a lie because there are still ongoing inspections and investigations into the damage caused by a loose barge hitting it while floating down the Ohio River.

Broke On: Saturday, 13 April 2024 On April 13, 2024, more than two dozen barges broke loose on the Ohio River in Pittsburgh. The incident caused damage to a marina and one barge was reported missing. Officials closed two bridges as a precautionary measure after the barges drifted uncontrollably downstream for miles before coming into contact with structures or other vessels. It is not clear what caused the barges to break free, but they were carrying dry cargo such as coal and fertilizer.
