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

80%

Examples:

  • Forcing a young girl to change clothes in front of a boy or man in a locker room is entirely antithetical to the dignity and respect that Title IX was intended to preserve and advance.
  • The challenged rule redefines 'sex' to include 'gender identity' and 'sexual orientation', declares unlawful longstanding policies requiring individuals to use bathrooms matching their biological sex, and upends the foundation of women's sports. All illegal.
  • The liberals have been threatening to defund our schools in cruel and unusual ways. The state of Oklahoma must have a plan on how we will replace these funds so we cannot be manipulated into doing that which we cannot morally do.
