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

90%

Examples:

  • The author has a clear left-leaning bias, often using language and framing that favors liberal viewpoints.

Conflicts of Interest

85%

Examples:

  • The Salt Lake Tribune has a conflict of interest as it is now a nonprofit organization that accepts donations from individuals and organizations. This can potentially influence the reporting and coverage of certain topics.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Another contradiction is found in the article where it is mentioned that Cambree swears she wasn't mad, while her facial expression in a Zoom call with her husband shows otherwise.
  • Articles contradict each other in terms of the information presented. For example, one article states that Jacob wore a VR headset during his wedding ceremony, while another claims he was only allowed to use it at the reception.

Deceptions

85%

Examples:

  • The author in the opinion piece titled 'Opinion: Only voters can truly disqualify Trump' deceptively compares former Confederate officers and officials to Trump, implying that he was similarly an insurrectionist. However, unlike former Confederate officers and officials who were explicitly declared insurrectionists and therefore not eligible to be elected, Trump was impeached twice but acquitted in the Senate.
