Missing from the left

Only 4 of the 22 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

A reader who follows the left would not have seen this. We report the absence rather than explain it: outlets choose what to cover for many reasons, and we have no evidence about which one applies here.

A new Super PAC named No Going Back PAC Inc. has reserved $25.8 million for advertising in seven US midterm election races. The New York Times reported that the PAC is linked to MAGA Inc., which has a $400 million war chest. AdImpact data indicates that $9.6 million has been allocated to New Hampshire and $7.7 million to Alaska.

No Going Back PAC Inc. was established on September 1, 2026, a week before it began reserving advertising funds. This timing allows the group to delay the disclosure of its financiers until October. The spending is concentrated on Senate races in New Hampshire and Alaska, with additional resources reserved for contests in Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, and Georgia, as well as a House of Representatives election in Pennsylvania.

Disagreement on Total Reserved Amount

Reports differ on the total amount reserved by the PAC. La Opinion, citing The New York Times, states the figure is $25.8 million. However, other reports, including those from Breitbart, [your]NEWS, WLTReport, and News Addicts, cite figures closer to $47 million or $49 million. Election Law Blog also reported $49 million, while TrendingPolitics reported $25 million.

What the coverage left out

None of the centre-rated reports mentioned the story. The right-rated digests did not mention the PAC's formation date of September 1 or the fact that this timing allows for delayed donor disclosure until October, details that were present in the left-rated La Opinion report.

Coverage settled. We checked this 15 times and stopped on 16 Sept 2026, 12:30. The figures above are what it finished at.
