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

50%

Examples:

  • The article also fails to mention that Ryan Smith is not the one bringing an NHL team to Utah, but rather trying to secure funding for a new arena.
  • The article uses biased language such as 'adept at working together', 'growing likelihood' and 'landscape-altering move' to describe the NHL relocation. These phrases imply a positive view of the situation without providing any evidence or context.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • However, it is important to note that KSL Sports is a subsidiary of Bonneville International, which owns the Delta Center. This could create potential biases or interests in promoting NHL expansion in Utah.
  • The article does not appear to have any clear conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Both contradictions in this article are related to the main headline. The first contradiction is that the Arizona Coyotes are not considering relocating to Salt Lake City, but rather trying to build a new arena in Glendale.
  • The second contradiction is that Ryan Smith is not forging a way for the NHL to land in Utah, but rather working with local leaders and stakeholders to secure funding for a new multipurpose arena that could host both NBA and NHL teams.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • For example, the article does not mention that Delta Center has hosted only preseason games, not full-time regular season games. It also implies that Ryan Smith has control over bringing an NHL team to Utah when in fact plans were already underway for a hockey team to play in Salt Lake City.
  • The article uses deceptive practices such as omitting important information and using misleading language to make the NHL relocation seem more likely and beneficial than it actually is.
