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 article mentions the Holocaust experience of Arno Penzias and his family's flight from Nazi-occupied Germany. This could be seen as a potential bias towards Jewish people or those who have experienced persecution.
  • The author uses emotional manipulation by including details about Penzias' traumatic childhood experience to make readers feel sympathy for him rather than focusing on his scientific achievements.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The article does not provide any information about conflicts of interest for the site or its authors.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • He eventually moved to California to work there. He died in San Francisco on Jan. 22 from complications of Alzheimer's disease.
  • Penzias and Wilson were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation which conclusively proved the Big Bang theory and disproved competing theories of the origin of the universe.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author quotes meteorologists who predict a range of potential outcomes for the storm without providing any context or clarification on what those ranges mean.
  • The title suggests that up to 12 inches of snow will be heading to NJ this weekend when it's not clear if all areas will see such heavy snowfall. This is a lie by omission as the article does not provide any context or clarification on what those ranges mean.
