There have been some comparisons of articles posted on US news sites vs.
those on international sites.  If it is to be believed, the US sites will
often leave key negative things out of their headlines.  Made up example
here, but a US headline might read:

"Trump reinstates three suppliers of widgets"

While the international headline might read:

"Widget makers give $41million to Trump and are reinstated as defense
suppliers"

I have seen some claims that electing Poilieve = 51st state, where electing
Carney = remaining independent.  I don't know enough to know if those
claims are based on any facts.

Those sound like some pretty responsible postions.
