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:

  • The articles exhibit a slight bias towards favoring Robert De Niro in the civil case brought by his ex-assistant.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The article about Macy's 4th of July Fireworks mentions that Emily Hollenbeck's treatment was approved by the FDA for depression when this is not entirely accurate.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • There are contradictions in the article about the NYC subway crash where it states that the disabled train had been vandalized after a number of emergency cords had been pulled by someone, but this statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the body of the article.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The article about NYC migrants pre-paid immediate response credit cards deploys language that dehumanizes migrants by referring to them as a 'migrant population'. It also uses phrases such as 'free stuff' which implies that the pre-paid credit cards are not being used responsibly or sustainably.
