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

86%

Examples:

  • The article contains a clear example of ideological bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes the construction worker who was killed in the incident by referring to him as 'one construction worker'. This is an attempt to minimize his importance and make it seem like he was just another person rather than someone with feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

Conflicts of Interest

54%

Examples:

  • The article quotes passenger Amoie Hutchinson saying that she got stuck overnight due to flight delays but does not provide any context or information on how this happened.
  • The article states that severe thunderstorms in South Florida delayed departures at Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport during the busy spring break season, suspended a popular electronic music festival and disrupted matches at a high-profile tennis tournament. However, it does not provide any specific information on how long these delays were or what caused them.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • As of Saturday afternoon, the average delay at MIA is over an hour and a half. The airport reported 565 delayed flights.
  • For your safety, Ultra Friday is temporarily shutting down. Please calmly leave the park now.
  • Rain and strong winds on Friday delayed the start of Saturday’s tennis games at Miami Open by six hours and then washed out the rest of scheduled play early in the evening.
  • The identity of the deceased worker has not been released yet.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • The article quotes passenger Amoie Hutchinson saying that she got stuck overnight due to flight delays but does not provide any context or information on how this happened.
  • The article states that severe thunderstorms in South Florida delayed departures at Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport during the busy spring break season, suspended a popular electronic music festival and disrupted matches at a high-profile tennis tournament.
