Yahoo News Australia

Yahoo News Australia provides coverage of various news topics including politics, entertainment, sports, and science. The articles show a slight bias towards the impact on Australia, potentially due to its source being an Australian news outlet. Some contradictions mentioned in the articles include plastic-shelled hermit crabs becoming a fashion trend across the world and researchers analyzing nearly 29,000 images of hermit crabs and identifying 386 that had co-opted artificial shells as their homes. Some biases mentioned in the articles include Chinese electric vehicles being an existential threat to the American auto industry and Vivek Ramaswamy dog-whistling to supporters of extremist far-right ideologies and wild conspiracy theories like QAnon. Some deceptive practices mentioned in the articles include the article not providing any evidence or further information about Serrano not being cleared to compete by doctors due to an eye injury, the body of the article stating that Paul scored a first-round TKO over Bourland but failing to mention that this victory came after Serrano's title defence was cancelled at the last moment, and the title being misleading as it suggests that Ryan Bourland was defending his unified featherweight titles against Amanda Serrano when in fact he was not. The articles have a time-based scoring for bias, contradictions, conflict of interest, deceptiveness, and readability.

    New Discovery of Heparinoids as Effective Antidote for Cobra Venom: A Potential Solution to Snakebite-Related Disability and Deaths

    Broke On: Thursday, 18 July 2024 Scientists from the University of Sydney, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and Instituto Clodomiro Picado discover heparinoids, a class of drugs commonly used as blood thinners, can protect human cells from cobra venom's tissue-damaging toxins.
