History
AM Daily News is an anonymous clickbait website with no “About” page, editorial staff, or contact information. There is no disclosure of who operates the site, nor any information on its goals, location, or journalistic practices. The site is cluttered with aggressive pop-up ads and potential browser hijackers, indicating it may serve more as a traffic and ad-revenue generator than a genuine news outlet.
Funded by / Ownership
There is no transparency regarding ownership or funding. Revenue appears from low-quality programmatic advertising, as evidenced by excessive ad placement and intrusive behavior, including pop-ups and redirects. No donation model, subscription service, or accountability infrastructure is present.
Analysis / Bias
The site’s content appears largely non-political, instead prioritizing clickbait headlines and viral-style stories, many of which lack verifiable sources. Some articles appear to be AI-generated or minimally edited, with misleading titles and vague language. For example:
-
“BREAKING: Elon Musk in Talks to Buy Cincinnati Bengals Football Team” was debunked by Lead Stories, confirming that no legitimate outlets reported on this claim.
-
Other articles, such as “World’s Most Expensive Divorce Settlement Details Revealed,” rely on vague, celebrity-driven speculation without sourcing.
There is no consistent political alignment, and the site does not appear to push ideological narratives. Its primary motive seems to be ad revenue through viral clickbait, not journalism.
Failed Fact Checks
- See the above example from Lead Stories.
Overall, we rate AM Daily News as Very Low for factual reporting due to its anonymous ownership, aggressive advertising, lack of editorial standards, and documented history of publishing false or misleading content. While not overtly political, the site operates primarily as clickbait, with AI likely generating or amplifying some stories. Readers are strongly advised to avoid using AM Daily News as a reliable source. (D. Van Zandt 04/02/2025)
