Have you missed the last week of news? The funding was stripped out of the original budget, which had already gone through bipartisan negotiation and had support from both parties, because Trump and Elon Musk coerced their party into rejecting it.

The legislature creates the budget, not the presidency. And the legislature is controlled by Republicans.

If true, that would still make it not quite as bad as Twitter.

Do you have citations to support any of your claims?

This is materially incorrect in multiple ways.

  1. The Economist’s reporting is widely recognized for its absence of bias.
  2. Leaders are not opinion pieces, they are brief overviews, hence why they seem like “truncated versions” of articles.
  3. The “snippets of opinion” to which you refer are reporting on public opinion. I thought that was obvious.

This is false. It still has areas in which it could improve, but it is a thousand times better than twitter.
