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.

  • Former US Pres. Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced they raised $50.5M at Saturday's Trump 2024 campaign event in Palm Beach, Florida. gop.com
  • That's nearly double the approximately $26M raised by incumbent Democratic Pres. Joe Biden at an event alongside former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in March, and is a record for the most raised at a single event. Associated Press (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • The fundraiser included big-name donors such as casino mogul Steve Wynn, Bigelow Aerospace Founder and President Robert Bigelow, and former US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. FOX News (LR: 4 CP: 4)
  • The campaign and the RNC said it raised nearly $66M in March, taking their total cash in hand to $93M. By merging their fundraising efforts in February, the maximum an individual can donate to the Trump campaign has increased from $3.3K to over $800K. Verity
  • Meanwhile, the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) say that they received $90M in March, taking their total cash in hand to $192M. politico.com
  • As of April 8, RealClearPolitics' polling averages place Trump, who has been ahead since late October, at 46.2%, or 0.3 percentage points ahead of Biden's 45.9%. RealClearPolling

Anti-Trump narrative:

  • It's no surprise Trump's circle of morally corrupt billionaires wish to see one of their own back in power. Those at the top of America's food chain have no respect for genuine law and order and are more than willing to send an alleged criminal to the White House if it's to their benefit. While many average Americans continue falling for Trump's lies, it's the oligarchy that the former president truly serves.

Pro-Trump narrative:

  • Trump's historic night embarrassed the pitiful sum raised by Biden last month, and now Democrats are panicking. While the establishment elite will hypocritically continue accusing Trump of being in the pockets of big-money donors, the statistics don't lie — Americans of all stripes are sending a clear message of rejection to the Biden administration.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 50% chance that Trump will be elected US president in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
