The Daily's Verdict

This news site has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The bias score is high due to the absence of any clear editorializing or opinion in the articles, indicating a generally neutral reporting stance.

Conflicts of Interest

0%

Examples:

  • No conflicts of interest were found in any of the articles.

Contradictions

15%

Examples:

  • A contradiction was found in the article 'State: Elderly man’s death 1st known fatal infection of Alaskapox', where it states that Alaskapox was discovered in a woman over eight years ago by a Fairbanks doctor and is identified as a novel orthopoxvirus. This contradicts the statement in the same article that says 'This is the first known fatal infection of Alaskapox'.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • The deception score is moderate due to a single instance of deceptive practice in the article 'State: Elderly man’s death 1st known fatal infection of Alaskapox'. The article states 'This is the first known fatal infection of Alaskapox', but this is not accurate as there have been previous deaths associated with it.
