Donald Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden last night, joined by several high-profile speakers.

Many left media framed it negatively, highlighting “racist” tropes or that in 1939 MSG housed a pro-Nazi rally. Right media described it as “historic” or “packed.”

Recap🧵 Image
Speakers notably included @JDVance, @ElonMusk, @RobertKennedyJr, @TulsiGabbard, @TuckerCarlson, @VivekGRamaswamy, @HulkHogan, @DrPhil, and many more.

See some of their speeches via @VigilantFox here:
@JDVance @elonmusk @RobertKennedyJr @TulsiGabbard @TuckerCarlson @VivekGRamaswamy @HulkHogan @DrPhil @VigilantFox MSG's 19,500 seats sold out shortly after it was announced earlier this month. Donald Trump Jr. claimed 200,000 tried to attend the rally.

Posts spread virally on X that NYPD reported 75,000 people in the streets outside the rally, though AllSides was unable to verify this.

The FBI revised its 2022 crime data to show that violent crime rose by 4.5% in 2022. The figure stands in contrast to the “final” figure the FBI reported in September 2023, which showed it fell by 2.1%.

AllSides did not find coverage from the left. Thread 🧵 Image
The change was reported by @RCPolitics (Center), which said it “discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the FBI website that states: ‘The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS, 2023.’” Image
@RCPolitics In the linked report, there is no mention that the numbers increased. RealClear reported that the only way to see the change is “by downloading the FBI’s new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year.”

NEW: Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is misrepresenting news articles in Google search, making them appear like endorsements, AllSides has found.

Thread 🧵 Image
The Harris ads masquerade as news articles w/ a clear pro-Harris slant. The Harris campaign has changed the actual headlines and preview text to make it appear the news outlet is explicitly supporting her candidacy.

Here’s an example from @guardian. Image
When clicked, the ad links to a normal news article – not an explicit endorsement. Image

Google has shown left bias since at least 2018.

Back then, we found a 65% left bias. The number has remained relatively steady.

Here's the full timeline of Google's News' bias 🧵 Image
In 2018, then-President Donald Trump accused Google of bias after PJ Media (Right bias) published findings that 96% of results for the keyword "𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱" were from left-leaning outlets.

An AllSides analysis that year found 𝟲𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁, 𝟮𝟬% 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟭𝟲% 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.Image
In 2019, Northwestern University researchers found 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟬 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 in Google News’ Top Stories section.
