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

75%

Examples:

  • The ice-encrusted oceans of these planetary bodies are leading candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The author claims that antivirals are still effective against JN.1 despite evidence suggesting otherwise and even though they mention less than 5% of cases were caused by JN.1 in early November 2023 which is not accurate as it was only a few months ago when this article was written.
  • The author claims that vaccines are still effective against JN.1 despite evidence suggesting otherwise and even though they mention less than 5% of cases were caused by JN.1 in early November 2023 which is not accurate as it was only a few months ago when this article was written.
  • The title implies that the article will provide information about all COVID variants, but it only talks about one specific variant (JN.1).

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The author uses sensationalism by stating that using upcoming instruments they will be able to detect similar lifeforms to those on Earth which are increasingly believed could exist on ocean-bearing moons. This statement implies a level of certainty that has not been proven and therefore is misleading.
  • The title suggests that even a small amount of ice from Jupiter’s moon can find signs of life when it is not clear if such life exists. This statement implies that the author believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life which has not been proven yet.
