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

92%

Examples:

  • The article shows a slight bias towards reporting the tragic passing of Liberty County firefighters with emotional language such as 'Community shocked by tragic passing'.

Conflicts of Interest

93%

Examples:

  • The article about the solar eclipse mentions that the church grounds are in the very center of the path of totality. This could be seen as a conflict of interest as it may encourage more people to visit and attend events at the church.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Two missing firefighters, Kuhbander and Anderson, were recovered by authorities in Tennessee. This contradicts the statement that they are still missing.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The article about Scheffler's back-to-back wins at Masters and RBC Heritage does not mention any potential conflicts of interest or sponsorships he may have. This could be seen as deceptive since it omits important information.
