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.

  • A letter obtained by ABC News from the legal counsel of Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose to Ohio Democratic Party Chair Liz Walters describes how a scheduling issue could jeopardize Pres. Joe Biden’s access to Ohio's general election ballot in November. ABC News
  • The letter points out that the Democratic National Convention's date of Aug. 19, 2024, occurs past the state's Aug. 7 deadline to certify presidential candidates. Associated Press (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • The Democratic National Committee (DNC) must either move up its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must pass a law that creates an exemption for Biden by May 9 — 90 days before the deadline. Guardian (LR: 2 CP: 5)
  • Ohio state minority leaders Rep. Allison Russo and Sen. Nickie Antonio, both Democrats, were copied on the letter. A Biden spokesperson said the campaign is "monitoring the situation" and is confident Biden will be on every state's ballot. NBC (LR: 2 CP: 4)
  • Biden won't be formally nominated as the Democratic nominee until the convention. The GOP-controlled Ohio legislature would need to act quickly to accommodate Biden. Cleveland

Republican narrative:

  • Democrats have been so preoccupied with trying to keep former president and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump off presidential ballots that they've forgotten to keep up with standard ballot access procedures. Democrats did this to themselves and now they're reliant on the sympathies of Republicans. It's karmic payback for what Democrats have tried to do to Trump.

Democratic narrative:

  • The GOP is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill and it would be a truly dirty trick if it dragged its feet here and caused the president to be excluded from November's ballot. This problem has arisen in the past and the legislature did the right thing. Doing the wrong thing here might even bring blowback to Republicans, so they should take the high road.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 95% chance that the Republican nominee for president will win Ohio in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
