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

65%

Examples:

  • The site does not provide enough information about its ownership, funding sources or editorial policies.
  • The site seems to have a left-leaning bias as it often publishes articles that support progressive causes and policies. It also tends to report on environmental issues in a positive light.

Conflicts of Interest

80%

Examples:

  • The site also seems to have conflicts of interest as it often publishes articles that endorse certain political candidates or parties. For example, the Shelter Island Democratic Committee has endorsed John Avlon's campaign to represent New York's First Congressional District.
  • The site seems to have conflicts of interest as it often publishes articles that promote certain businesses or organizations in East Hampton. For example, the article about the Devon Yacht Club's redevelopment proposal does not mention any potential negative impacts on the environment or local residents.

Contradictions

70%

Examples:

  • Jennifer Leak D'Auria had a rare neurological disease called progressive supranuclear palsy but the site does not provide any evidence to support this claim. This is an example of deceptive reporting as the author has made a statement without providing any supporting facts.
  • The article quotes James Dauria as saying that his wife was cast in Mike Nichols' film The Graduate but immigration issues kept her from being able to take part in the shoot. However, it is unclear if this statement is true or not since no other sources are cited to support it. This is an example of deceptive reporting as the author has made a statement without providing any supporting facts.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The site is also deceptive as it often publishes articles that sensationalize or exaggerate certain events or issues. For example, the storytelling by Terry Sullivan is described as being shaped by a rebellious life without providing any evidence to support this claim.
  • The site is deceptive as it often publishes articles that contain false or misleading information. For example, the article about Roy Lichtenstein's centennial celebration contains several inaccuracies and omissions.
