Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators. This Magazine/Community is not affiliated with Improve The News and is an unofficial repository of the information posted there.

  • No Labels, a bipartisan third-party political organization, Thursday announced it was ending its pursuit of a "unity" ticket to enter the 2024 US presidential race against Democratic Pres. Joe Biden and Republican former Pres. Donald Trump. Forbes (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • In a statement, No Labels said it wasn't able to "identify candidates with a credible path to winning the White House." Forbes (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • No Labels' decision comes despite the group raising tens of millions of dollars and leaves independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the only remaining high-profile alternative to the two mainstream candidates. Associated Press (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Several prominent politicians had been rumored to be in consideration by No Labels, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley — who unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination. ABC News
  • Although neither the Biden nor Trump campaigns commented on No Labels' announcement, prominent Democrats had worried a No Labels candidate would hinder the chances of the president getting reelected. Politico.com

Narrative A:

  • In one way No Labels accomplished its goal of bringing people of different political persuasions together. But a bipartisan group of politicians turned the organization down because they were certain a No Labels run would clear a path for Trump's return to the White House. No Labels also did itself no favors by being secretive about its fundraising. The demise of No Labels is for the best.

Narrative B:

  • No Labels was the wrong organization at the wrong time, and it proved that America is comfortable with the two-party system because it couldn't attract a candidate at a time when the two nominees were historically unpopular. Biden is particularly vulnerable, so any third-party candidates that remain in the race could still derail his attempt to remain in the White House.

Nerd narrative:

  • There is a 2% chance that a third-party or independent candidate will win at least 15% of the popular vote in the 2024 US presidential election, according to Metaculus prediction community.
