Analysis / Bias
In review, DiscoveryTheWord.com publishes science-related news with minimal bias such as this 10 Ways Artificial Intelligence is a Part of Our Lives Today. This article provides the name of the author and links to her bio, however, the article itself is not sourced at all. In fact, none of the articles reviewed contained hyperlinked sourcing. DiscoveryTheWord.com does not cover politics, though there is a left lean through numerous articles promoting environmentalism.
In general, this is a Pro-Science source, unfortunately, there isn’t any type of sourcing to support their claims. It appears most of the content is factual, but without a source to back it up we cannot rate this website as a credible source of information.
