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 presents Alper Gezeravcı as Türkiye's first astronaut and his groundbreaking work at ISS, but these claims are exaggerated and not supported by facts.
  • The article uses nationalist rhetoric to connect Gezeravcı with the founding of Türkiye and its martyrs, which is irrelevant and inappropriate for a news article.

Conflicts of Interest

85%

Examples:

  • However, the fact that he was a passenger on the Dragon spacecraft carrying Axiom-3 crew implies that his mission is partly funded and organized by private companies, which could raise questions about transparency and accountability.
  • The article does not provide any information about Gezeravcı's sponsors or affiliations that could create a conflict of interest.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Gezeravcı has commenced his groundbreaking work in the International Space Station (ISS) after SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft successfully docked with the station on Jan. 20
  • The first Turkish astronaut Gezeravcı began operations at ISS

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • However, the overall score is low because the article does not use complex language or hidden agendas to deceive readers.
  • The article contains several deceptive practices such as omitting or distorting facts, using emotional appeals without context, and making false or misleading claims.
