FACTS BEHIND THE HEADLINES

Media narratives and actual outcomes

Tired of the news cycle?

News Breakdown is our second weekly email, exclusive to all Post factum members.

This format is different from anything you can find in the journalism space.

It is separate from our main weekly reports: they remain ad-less and free, for everyone, forever.

Every week with News Breakdown, we revisit a pivotal geopolitical event of the past year, such as the launch of DeepSeek or India-Pakistan 2025 clash.

  • First, we explain what happened, why it is important, and share context.

  • Then, we look at the longer-term consequences of the event and what data tells us today.

  • Finally, we break down the main media takes on the topic, exposing bias and explaining the arguments.
