The Daily's Verdict

This news site 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 its reporting.

Bias

70%

Examples:

  • The title of the article 'Hamas Claims Israel Hit Hospital Killing Hundreds; Israel Says Hamas Rocket May Have Misfired' shows a bias towards Israel by suggesting that Hamas' claim may not be true and that it was their rocket that misfired, not an Israeli airstrike.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Breitbart, the source of the article 'Hamas Claims Israel Hit Hospital Killing Hundreds; Israel Says Hamas Rocket May Have Misfired', has been described as a platform for the alt-right, and its former executive chairman, Steve Bannon, was a chief strategist for President Donald Trump. This could potentially influence its coverage of Middle Eastern politics.

Contradictions

60%

Examples:

  • In the article 'Hamas Claims Israel Hit Hospital Killing Hundreds; Israel Says Hamas Rocket May Have Misfired', there is a contradiction where the article claims that Israel suggests a Hamas rocket may have misfired and caused the hospital damage. This is contradicted by both the CNN and Reuters articles which report that the hospital was hit by an Israeli airstrike.
