QUESTIONABLE SOURCE
A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence (Learn More). Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact-checked on a per-article basis. Please note sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source. See all Questionable sources.
- Overall, we rate The Daily Adda as Left-Center biased based on its consistently critical editorial positions toward conservative politics. We also rate them as Questionable due to a complete lack of transparency, poor sourcing practices, and possible AI content generation (Unconfirmed).

History
The Daily Adda describes itself as “a modern digital media company” delivering fact‑based journalism via a fully remote operation, emphasizing accuracy, integrity, and transparency. The site does not provide a newsroom address or physical location on either the About or Contact pages; the Contact page is a web form with no geographic information.
Author names appear on articles (e.g., Grace Thompson, Oliver Flynn, Lila Chambers), but the site offers no author bios, masthead, or staff page; the bylines link to no profiles.
Location: Unknown; however, the domain is registered in Sweden.
Funded by / Ownership
The site claims to sustain operations through “carefully vetted advertising partners” in addition to subscriptions/memberships, while also emphasizing its strong reader-privacy practices and editorial independence. However, no obvious subscribe/membership sign-up page is linked, and article pages feature multiple display ads..
The site does not disclose its owners, publisher, or editorial board.
Analysis / Bias
Content spans politics, economy, and entertainment. Political coverage trends critical of Trump, which leans the site slightly left of center:
- A political story framed with a mocking tone toward Trump’s remarks on grass at the Kennedy Center, published without sourcing links (only an embedded video), suggests a skeptical/negative framing of Trump (“Trump Goes Wild About ‘Grass’…”).
- Another piece on immigration/farm labor quotes Trump critically and includes strong emotive language, again without external citations (“‘Born to Toil’…”).
- Lighter entertainment content (e.g., Neeson/Anderson romance) is also unsourced, with no outbound links.
Sourcing quality: Many articles include no hyperlinks to primary sources or reputable outlets, relying instead on narrative summaries or embedded social/video. This practice lowers verifiability and supports a Mixed factual rating despite the site’s stated commitment to verification and fact‑checking.
Transparency gaps: There is no physical address, no masthead, and no author bios. These omissions are atypical for outlets that emphasize “accuracy” and “transparency”.
AI/automation concerns (unverified): The site claims a fully remote workflow and “curated” coverage, but does not disclose any use of automation or AI. Indicators that sometimes correlate with automated pipelines include generic bylines without bios, few or no source links in many posts, and uniform, lightly sourced write-ups across multiple topics (see the three example articles above). However, there is no explicit admission or conclusive proof of AI‑generated content on the site itself. Treat as unconfirmed.
