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

Bias

  • The site tends to use positive adjectives for people involved in accidents or tragedies, such as 'incredibly dependable', 'responsible', and 'joy to be around'. This may imply a bias towards certain groups of people over others.

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Clinton Township officials suspect warehouse that exploded was illegal, but they do not provide any evidence or details to support this claim.
  • The author contradicts himself by saying that Turner Lee Salter was killed by a gunshot then corrected to say he was struck by flying debris. This creates confusion for readers and undermines the credibility of the article.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • The site also uses vague and incomplete sentences, such as 'Clinton Township supervisor Bob Cannon said he couldn’t fathom what Salter‗s family is going through...' This may leave readers with unanswered questions or misconceptions.
