With mixed truth. In other words, they're often wrong or they lie.
Not saying they're wrong but...
Analysis / Bias
According to a Washington Post article, Editor-in-Chief Noah Shachtman describes how he will improve the Daily Beast. He states, “I want us to lean harder into who we are,” explaining further, “That means that if the Daily Beast is in the business of scoops — more scoops. “If we’re painting in bright colors now, I want to paint even brighter.”
In review, the Daily Beast tends to publish left-leaning stories utilizing sensationalized headlines with emotionally loaded words such as “No, Rudy: Trump Isn’t Othello. He’s Iago” and “Imagine a Trump Who Could Constrain Himself and Just Talk About the Economy.” However, they typically source the info in their reports using credible sources such as Reuters, PBS, Slate, NY Times, and sources themselves. Despite that, they have published false claims and misinformation, as seen below.
Failed Fact Checks
FACT CHECK: WAS A ‘HUGE PERCENTAGE’ OF DEPORTED SALVADORANS KILLED OR HARMED UPON RETURN TO EL SALVADOR? – False
“Stephen Paddock used guns that are more powerful and accurate than what Marine infantry carry—and they’re totally legal to buy,” – False
Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner expressed genuine concern over “tracking devices” when he asked a health official about their potential presence in COVID-19 vaccines during a county board meeting. – False
3D-printed Sarco capsules for assisted suicides, which can be activated from the inside by the person intending to die, have been approved under Swiss law. – False
