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.

  • Ahead of the national election, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi released his party's poll manifesto (platform) on Sunday, promising to make the country the third-largest economic power. The Indian Express
  • Titled "Modi's Guarantee 2024," the manifesto focuses on "the welfare and development of all," exponential economic growth, poverty eradication, and free and quality healthcare. IndiaToday
  • Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party claims the manifesto "empowers" women, youth, poor, and farmers — the four "pillars" of his vision of a developed India. BusinessLine
  • The prime minister's poll promises include extending the government's free ration scheme by five years and continuing the annual ₹6K ($72) aid to each eligible farmer. NDTV.com
  • In addition, Modi has promised to bid for the 2036 Olympic Games and push for nationwide electoral reforms, including implementing his proposed "One Nation One Election" policy. The Times of India
  • The Indian national election begins on April 19 and will be held across seven stages through June 1. The results will be declared on June 4. Al Jazeera (LR: 2 CP: 1)

Right narrative:

  • Modi's party manifesto promises to build on India's progress over the past decade, especially in digital advancements and infrastructure. It pledges support for scientific research and promoting local languages. The manifesto isn't merely about winning the next round of national elections. It's more about deciding on the issue of a robustly developed India by 2047.

Left narrative:

  • BJP's manifesto fails to address major economic issues like labor and land laws. It prioritizes continuity over significant change. It has no word on "doubling farmers' income" like it grandiosely did in 2019 and failed to keep. Voters will see through this smokescreen of rhetorical devices like Ramayana festivals and half-baked welfare measures.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 50% chance that India will become a World Bank high-income country by Nov. 2049, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
