They're clickbait news in order to chase the dollars in advertising. It's not news. It's sensationalism without facts. I think the Daily Mail has more facts. And that ain't saying much. DB has zero cr... See more

I love your paper

I love your paper, I’m a subscriber who keeps logging in and I can’t because it claims my email and username already exists. Well I can’t read your paper and I’m so disappointed and to think this is how I have to tell you through a review. Disappointed subscriber.

Your reporting of the Johnny Depp /…

Your reporting of the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial is disgusting. You are spreading misinformation, biased one sided snippets of information from twitter accounts, reporting opinion as fact and completely getting even obvious information wrong. Then you have the audacity to go back and try low key edit your article when you are called out about it. You obviously didn't watch the trial and you have lost all credibility.

Real journalists get a bad rep from conspiracy theorists online on review sites like this.

They hire real journalists unlike many independent news sources on the internet. Great journalists who wrote in depth pieces based on research and facts.

Horrible Daily Beast propaganda shills, Mark Hay is a stalker

Horrible, bad taste, lowest of the low, Daily Beast are not journalists, they are propagandists and liars shilling for the radical left and for the American military-industrial complex. Daily Beast's Mark Hay wrote a hit piece, like a coward, targetting and harassing independent journalist and truth teller Gonzalo Lira who is in Ukraine giving great, accurate, truthful updates about war in Ukraine, as opposed to non stop lies from mainstream media and Daily Beast. Mark Hay just envies and resents he is a liar and will never be a real journalist and a hero like Gonzalo Lira. Lowest of the low from Mark Hay to try to reveal Lira's current location, Mark Hay even contacted Ukraine's government about Lira, putting his life in danger. Mark Hay should get arrested for his harassment.

No Journalistic Integrity :/

Found a few articles by accident, haven't known the site before that, but they display a lack of journalistic integrity, and seem to be left leaning to a disturbing degree ...

I'm not too political myself but, when it stares you so blatently in your face and just turns every fact and citation in such a way that it churns my stomach, I just had to find a way to tell them off, so now I'm here giving them a 1 Star ... since less isn't possible

Will Sommer the Daily Beast Liar!

Will Sommer, a 'so called journalist' who works for The Daily Liar is literally that, a liar & a fraud. Just like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, Sky News, BBC, The Washington Post, they literally just lie & make stories up. Stay well clear!!! Go find the real truth out for yourselves!!

Editorial sensation Trash

Bizzare journalism combined with desperation to sensationalism, lacking the thorough investigation and follow-up of hefty accusations.

To summarise in one word: TRASH

I order the outdoor golf Mats 2.5 months ago. They claim the order was shipped and delivered. They cannot
Send me a proof of signature, they provided a tracking number of 200606131457675 That doesn’t exist.
Claims Canada post delivered this item. Told me to check with my neighbours.
I have called Canada post. There has never been a delivery and that tracking number isn’t correct.
If you want to give your money away go ahead and order.
These people are criminals and scammers.

My rating is a zero.

An order was placed for 2 "outdoor golf games", from Daily Best. After a month, they said my order shipped, from China.
I received 2 foam "golf balls" which smelled like moth balls. Several attempts made to correct the order, they then produced a order for, not submitted by me. I sent a copy of my order, stating specifically an order for 2 golf game sets. The order was never corrected.
This transaction was definitely "fraudulent" but would be fruitless since they are based in China. Please save your money & buy "American" made.

As an avid consumer of political news

As an avid consumer of political news, I can unequivocally recommend The Daily Beast for their matter-of-fact, link-based, reporting. They give the reader the meat of a story. And at the end of each entry is a link to the original source of the information. Reviews that criticize TDB as too biased seem to have ignored the fact that every one of their stories is backed up with actual facts and sources. I highly recommend their excellent writing and common-sense style.

They describe themselves as…

They describe themselves as "Independent. Intelligent. Influential." while they have been accused of biased reporting. It's not (yet) a fake news site but the coverage is often angled to prove a point. Some might like it but it's definitely not for me.

No refund policy on OVERPRICED item

I bought an items for @$200 and realized before it was delivered I had made a mistake and it wasn't what I thought it was. I immediately contacted customer service and was told somewhere in the fine print it says certain items are not returnable because the price is so low. The VERY SAME item I discovered is for sale for $90 less at multiple retailers and online. If I could give a negative star rating I would. Plus I will NEVER EVER use them again and will stop reading their site as well.
