AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
A district judge tossed an election interference lawsuit by President Trump against the Des Moines Register, parent company USA Today Co. (formerly Gannett) and pollster Ann Selzer, rejecting claims that its inaccurate pre-election poll amounted to consumer fraud.
Why it matters: The dismissal is an early court test of Trump's broader push to use litigation against media organizations over coverage he disputes.
