Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article's factual accuracy is mixed. The claim about the cherry blossom festival and Friday the 13th occurring during the week of April 9 is plausible, but the provided sources do not directly verify these specific events for a specific year. The article appears to be neutral, simply highlighting events.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim:** Annual celebration of Washington's cherry blossoms during the week of April 9.
- Verification Source #1: Fails to cover the cherry blossom festival.
- Verification Source #2: Fails to cover the cherry blossom festival.
- Verification Source #3: Fails to cover the cherry blossom festival.

- Verification Source #5: Fails to cover the cherry blossom festival.
- Internal Knowledge: While Washington D.C.'s cherry blossom festival typically occurs in late March/early April, the specific timing varies each year. Without a specific year mentioned in the CBS article, it's impossible to verify if it falls within the "week of April 9" for a given year using the provided sources.
- Claim:** Friday the 13th occurs during the week of April 9.
- Verification Source #1: Shows a calendar for April of year 9, which does not have a Friday the 13th.
