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.

  • Russian investigators probing the plane crash that killed Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin have not ruled out the possibility that the plane was deliberately downed, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday. Reuters (a) (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Prigozhin's Embraer Legacy jet had been flying between Moscow and St. Petersburg when it went down in the Tver region last week, killing all ten people on board. His death was confirmed following DNA testing of the bodies found in the wreckage. BBC News
  • Peskov told reporters: "It is obvious that different versions are being considered, including the version — you know what we are talking about — let's say, a deliberate atrocity." However, he added: "Let's wait for the results of our Russian investigation." Reuters (a) (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • The news comes after Brazil's aviation authority — the Center for Research and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (CENIPA) — reportedly claimed that Russia had declined its invitation to probe the Brazilian-made plane's crash under international rules "at the moment." Reuters (b) (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • While Russia isn't obliged to accept CENIPA's invitation, US aviation experts suggested that the lack of Brazilian participation in the probe "hurts the transparency of the Russian investigation." Reuters (b) (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • The Kremlin has previously denied any role in the crash and hit out at Western assertions that Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin ordered Prigozhin to be killed in revenge. TASS

Pro-Russia narrative:

  • Any insinuation that the Kremlin was involved in Prighozhin's plane crash is nothing but lies and speculation and an attempt to discredit Russia. A comprehensive investigation is being carried out, and its results will be shared when known.
    TASS

Anti-Russia narrative:

  • Though the Kremlin hints that Prigozhin may have been assassinated, the lack of international investigators into the circumstances of the crash will inevitably bring into question the probe's independence and whether it was manipulated for political goals.
