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 Pres. Donald Trump's latest request to delay the start of his trial related to an alleged hush money payment was denied by a New York appellate judge Wednesday. ABC News
  • Trump has now failed three times to have the trial pushed back. It's expected to start next week with jury selection Monday. Voice of America
  • In its latest bid to get a delay, Trump's lawyers argued that the partial gag order issued by presiding Judge Juan Merchan placed "unacceptable and unconstitutional restriction" on the defendant. Trump is trying to have Merchan removed for his political bias. NBC (LR: 2 CP: 4)
  • Trump's lawyers also said Merchan "exceeded his authority" when he refused to postpone the case until the US Supreme Court rules on Trump's presidential immunity claims in a hearing set to begin April 25. The judge said Trump waited too long to raise the issue. Associated Press (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Previously, Trump on Monday was denied a delay while he looks to move the trial out of Manhattan. On Tuesday, Trump’s request to delay the trial as he fights Merchan’s latest gag order was turned down. Trump is also suing to remove Merchan under New York’s Article 78 law. FOX News (LR: 4 CP: 4)
  • Trump has been charged by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg with falsifying business records related to a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels through his then-lawyer Michael Cohen. Guardian (LR: 2 CP: 5)

Anti-Trump narrative:

  • Trump's numerous attempts to postpone being held accountable for his crimes have failed. It's heartening to see the judicial system brush off so many ridiculous claims from the former president. Now it's time for him to face the music, starting with the opening of his trial in the hush money case.
    MSNBC (LR: 1 CP: 5)

Pro-Trump narrative:

  • There's just no way for Trump to get a fair shake in the face of an anti-Trump district attorney and judges. This unfounded case should never see the inside of a courtroom, but New York is determined to continue this witch hunt to sidetrack the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's campaign.
    DAILY CALLER (LR: 5 CP: 4)

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 69% chance that Trump will be found guilty of at least one felony in his New York hush money trial, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
