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

85%

Examples:

  • Some argue that an alternative design, placing the door plug inside the plane, could have prevented the incident.
  • The FAA's audit of Boeing's 737 Max 9 production line and suppliers

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Boeing's CEO, Dave Calhoun, has acknowledged shortcomings in the manufacturing and quality control processes.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article states 'All aircraft sharing the configuration of the recently updated Boeing 737, akin to Flight 1282, will remain grounded.' This statement is deceptive because it implies that all planes with this configuration are being grounded when in fact only those specifically affected by the incident are.
  • The article states 'Initial assurances of a swift diagnosis and resolution by US federal officials have given way to a more prolonged and intricate process.' This statement is deceptive because it implies that the FAA initially assured passengers that the issue would be resolved quickly, when in fact there was never any such assurance.
