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.

  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has responded skeptically to French Pres. Emmanuel Macron's call for a break in global conflicts during this year's summer Olympics, which is being hosted by Paris. Reuters.com (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Macron on Tuesday said France would do everything possible to observe a cease-fire in Ukraine, Gaza, and Sudan between Jul. 26 and Aug. 11, including engaging the Chinese Pres. Xi Jinping in the effort. Ukrainska Pravda
  • While Russia has yet to respond to Macron's proposal, Peskov, without citing specific incidents, said, "as a rule, the Kiev regime uses such ideas and such initiatives to try to regroup, to try to rearm." The Economic Times
  • Since Russia captured the town of Avdiivka in February, Ukraine has reportedly been running out of ammunition, with Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy warning Moscow might launch a significant offensive in the late spring or summer. Reuters.com (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Last year, China, which has reportedly boosted trade ties with Moscow post its invasion of Ukraine, proposed a peace initiative that included basic principles but no specific terms to end the more than two-year-long war. Firstpost

Anti-Russia narrative:

  • Holding a cease-fire during the Olympic Games is a tradition dating back to the ancient Greeks and should be honored around the world. Macron isn't just calling for Russia and Ukraine to lay down their weapons for two weeks, but for all warring factions to take a peaceful break from the cycle of violence.

Pro-Russia narrative:

  • Ukraine has typically used cease-fire suggestions to rearm itself, so Russia must exercise caution and consider its own national security interests. Moscow has also been the one calling for actual peace agreements to end the war, but it refuses to take a temporary pause just because Kyiv is running out of bullets.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 4% chance that there will be a bilateral cease-fire or peace agreement in the Russo-Ukraine conflict in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
