Analysis Summary:

The article's main claim about increased transparency in hotel and ticket pricing, while likely true based on the title, is difficult to verify fully with the provided sources. The sources touch on hidden fees in various sectors, supporting the general concept, but don't directly confirm the specific regulatory changes implied in the article. There's a slight negative bias towards hidden fees, which is understandable given the topic.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** "Resort fees, cleaning fees, service fees: Those charges now must be disclosed upfront." This is the central claim of the article.
  • Verification Source #4: Supports the general idea of hidden fees in hotel rooms, food deliveries, and airplane tickets.
  • Verification Source #5: Mentions cleaning fees in the context of Hotels.com.
  • Verification Source #2: Discusses hidden fees in housing complexes.
  • Verification Source #1 and #3: Do not directly address the claim.
• Verdict:* While the sources confirm the existence of hidden fees, they don't explicitly confirm that these fees *must* now be disclosed upfront due to regulatory changes. This is a significant unverified claim.
• Claim:** "But the fight against 'junk fees' is far from over."
  • Verification Source #4: Supports the idea that hidden fees are still a problem.
  • Verification Source #2: Supports the idea that hidden fees are still a problem in housing.
  • Verification Source #1, #3, and #5: Do not directly address the claim.
• Verdict:* This claim is generally supported by the sources, which highlight the persistence of hidden fees.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Verification Source #4: "All those extra costs tacked onto food deliveries, hotel rooms, and airplane tickets really add up. Here's the way to pay less." This supports the idea that hidden fees are a significant consumer issue.
• Verification Source #2: "Rent receipts from Hidden Hollow tenants show fees like a mandatory DirectTV fee of $50, $27 fee for a homeowners' association and $15 to $30 “tax back” fee." This provides a concrete example of hidden fees in a different sector (housing).
• The provided sources do not contradict each other, but they do not provide direct evidence to support the central claim about mandatory upfront disclosure of fees.
• The title of Verification Source #1 suggests that casinos are relying less on gambling revenue and more on other fees, which could be considered a related trend, but it doesn't directly support or contradict the article's claims.
