Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate. The core claim about the number of rhinos poached in South Africa between January 1 and March 31 is verifiable, although the exact year is not specified in the article itself. The article presents a straightforward report on rhino poaching, with minimal observable bias.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** Poachers in South Africa killed 103 rhinos between Jan. 1 and March 31.
  • Verification Source #2: Mentions that South Africa holds the majority of the world's rhinos and has been hit hardest by poaching. This supports the general context of the claim.
  • Verification Source #4: States that "More than 200 rhinos have been poached so far this year in South Africa" (dated April 4, 2013). This provides a similar data point, although the time frame is slightly different.
  • Verification Source #5: States that "Of the 249 rhinos killed so far this year, 75 of them were from private reserves" (dated Aug 23, 2021). This provides a similar data point, although the time frame is significantly different.
• Fail to cover:* None of the sources directly confirm the specific number of 103 rhinos killed between January 1 and March 31 of a specific year. However, the provided sources confirm that rhino poaching is a significant issue in South Africa.
• Internal Knowledge:* Without knowing the year the CBS article was published, it is difficult to verify the exact number. However, the claim is plausible given the context of rhino poaching in South Africa.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Verification Source #2: Confirms South Africa as a major site of rhino poaching.
• Verification Source #3: States that 1,215 rhinos were butchered in South Africa in 2014, highlighting the severity of the problem.
• Verification Source #4: Provides a data point of "more than 200 rhinos" poached in South Africa by April 4, 2013, indicating a high rate of poaching.
• Verification Source #5: Provides a data point of "249 rhinos killed so far this year" by Aug 23, 2021, indicating a high rate of poaching.
• The lack of a specific year in the CBS article makes it difficult to verify the exact number of 103 rhinos poached between January 1 and March 31. However, the other sources confirm that rhino poaching is a serious and ongoing issue in South Africa.
