Thin on the left so far

None of the 10 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Truth Social, the social media platform founded by President Donald Trump, is selling a service that provides clients with faster access to his posts. News and data provider Bloomberg and two Wall Street firms, Susquehanna International Group and Jump Trading, are reportedly clients for this service. These firms specialise in high-frequency and algorithmic trading strategies.

The service, which uses an application programming interface (API), costs clients up to $100,000 per month. It is designed to deliver Trump's posts more quickly than a user checking the app directly, offering a timing advantage of 50 milliseconds. This speed difference can be significant for financial firms using automated trading systems when presidential statements potentially influence market prices.

Critics have raised concerns that the service is unethical and grants traders an advantage over private investors. Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, stated that the report is based on misleading information from anonymous sources and that the API product is industry-standard with significant demand.

Disagreement on lawsuit details

DiarioBitcoin reports that the service faces political criticism and a lawsuit filed in August. Handelsblatt mentions a lawsuit is pending against Truth Social's payment model. Times of India states that Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate the service, calling it a "shocking abuse" of office. It also notes an ongoing lawsuit by Intercept Media and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, describing the service as "profoundly corrupt" and alleging violations of the First and Fifth Amendments.

What the coverage left out

None of the centre-rated reports mentioned the lawsuit against Truth Social's payment model or the criticism from Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff, or the lawsuit by Intercept Media and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, details that were included in the right-rated reports.

  • The centre-rated reports from WTVB and Reuters led with the core fact that Bloomberg and two Wall Street firms have agreed to pay Truth Social for faster access to President Trump's posts. Both digests stated the service costs up to $100,000 a month and identified Susquehanna International Group and Jump Trading as the firms involved. They also noted that the access provides a speed advantage to subscribers.

8 rated outlets

  • The right‑rated outlets led on the fact that Bloomberg and two high‑frequency trading firms, Susquehanna International Group and Jump Trading, are paying up to $100,000 a month for faster access to President Trump’s posts via a Truth API. The digests from Handelsblatt, The Straits Times, Reformatorisch Dagblad, Moneycontrol, The Hindu Business Line and dagelijksestandaard.nl all carried these client names and the monthly cost.
  • Handelsblatt’s full report led on a pending lawsuit against the paid model and reproduced a statement from Trump Media that the report was based on misleading information. Times of India’s full report led on the API’s 50‑millisecond timing advantage, described how the speed could affect automated trades, and cited concerns that the service gives traders an edge over retail investors.
  • None of the right‑rated digests mention the pending lawsuit, the Trump Media statement, the 50‑millisecond figure, or the example of market moves after a presidential post. The digests also omit the ethical concerns raised about giving Wall Street firms a timing advantage. These details appear only in the two full reports.
