Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The author occasionally uses language that dehumanizes UConn fans by referring to them as “white supremacists” online.
  • There are instances where the author provides unbalanced coverage of certain topics, such as the strength of the Mountain West conference and Purdue's position in the NCAA tournament.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • There are no direct conflicts of interest disclosed by the authors in any of the articles.
  • The site does not have a clear policy on conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

90%

Examples:

  • In one article, it is stated that Dan Hurley is being considered for an NBA position, but it is also mentioned that he has expressed a desire to explore a partnership with one of basketball's winningest franchises.
  • The author claims that Purdue's Achilles heel has been turnovers for two seasons but fails to mention their struggles with defense last season.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The article falsely states that Van Lith could have declared for the WNBA Draft but was not on the list of entrants released on Thursday. However, this statement is false as Van Lith did declare for the draft and was included in a previous report by On3.
