That doesn't make a difference. They are responsible for what they publish, it doesn't matter whether its own research or agency news.

The KIIS poll, which began a day after the controversial vote on July 22, found that 58 per cent of Ukrainians currently trust Mr Zelensky, down from an 18-month high of 74 per cent in May and 67 per cent in February-March.

This poll was made before Zelensky reversed his questionable decision and reinstated the anti-corruption bodies' independence. Publishing this more than two weeks later when the situation has already changed is dishonest and has nothing to do with objective, independent journalism. The Straits Times discredits itself with this.

Due to the trade deficit and the service sector that America has over Europe. They simply have more leverage

The U.S. trade deficit with the EU would shrink considerably if and when we account in the service sector, so that's a leverage the EU has over the U.S. rather than the other way around.

There is a strong body of research regarding the U.S. tariffs conundrum in the meantime (including here in this comm as I just read) revealing that Trump hurts the U.S. more than any other country or region. (And the EU is indeed the least carbon-intensive economy globally due its environmental laws that - as much as we need to improve also here- are stronger than anywhere else in the world.)

Op-eds like this one are being written these days on a daily basis, but they are exaggerated. The EU could maybe retaliate more (would this hurt the European economy as U.S. tariffs do in the U.S.?), but I wouldn't say it is 'cowering'. The Florida man says something every day, and it wouldn't make sense imo to 'bully back.' Economic forecasts for the U.S. are much worse than Trump and these op-eds make it seem.

I fully agree. I just posted an article in this community right before this one that I find very illuminating and discusses also this issue (here again).

I don't know where you have got this, but do yourself a favour and stay away.

This survey says that job opportunities are more important to refugees from Ukraine than social benefits, and it means that job opportunities are more important to refugees from Ukraine than social benefits. Nothing else.

As an addition some stats: The competition for skilled workforce will intensify in the very near future, and a large part of the world -with all Western democracies among them- are facing the threat of a declining population. Indeed, only a few countries - notably China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan - have lower fertility rates than Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, while Africa is clearly winning the global demography game in the next decades.

Yes, for the moment it seems so. But as the article discusses, it is unsure what the future holds for such politics. "Voters may worry about immigration, but that doesn’t mean they won’t blame the government if they can’t pay their bills and there is no one to look after their ageing parents."

What is "Eastern European programming" and what has this survey to do with "voting for austerity"?

Regulators declare victory over contractual band-aids while Cloud Act elephant remains in room.

It feels sentences like this is what you get if you let AI write your articles and it hasn't yet learned to spot the difference between real news and The Onion ;-) (But at least the website has its clicks, I guess that's all what matters ...)

I changed the title to make that clear.

I am new here, but what is this? The Daily Express (which has 'covered' this) is a tabloid (in-)famous for its Euroscepticism, hate speech, xenophobia, and support for UKIP, a far-right wing political party in the UK.

Cheapened? They inflated the prices, you may have misunderstood the article.
