Based on the title of the article, I, and other readers can assume that this article is about the death toll caused by Hurricane Milton. Before even reading this article I had heard things about Hurricane Milton from multiple news sources including NBC, CNN, USA Today and AP News, and this article is from CBS, so I knew that this was relevant information. That being said, I needed to make sure that this specific article was telling the truth on the events and death toll from Hurricane Milton, so I did more research into the source, author and facts that the article states. CBS is a very credible website that has been around for decades, and is one of the biggest news outlets ever. But, just because it is big and old doesn't mean that it is 100% right, according to other news outlets the death toll might not be as big as CBS claims. After some research other outlets are estimating an average of 15 people dead, not a number as high as 23. Since this is the main point of the article and the headline, I would conclude that while it is true that many people have died during Hurricane Milton, CBS is exaggerating the truth.
