I don’t doubt the message. I was just surprised at the lack of citations in the article. Then I learned about the source’s bias.


It’s just a summary of the recent Q2 earnings presentations from the big retailers (the writer cites this 1st sentence). Look at those reports if you want primary sources


What do you mean by lack of citations? You mean self-linking to their own content? All the other alternatives, including the one you said "is a better source", do the exact same thing. I am having a hard time finding the ideological bias you're talking about in the El País article.


The CNBC article is actually the best, since it corroborates its numbers with their own price research.

Perhaps this is just coming from a finance background. But I’m not a fan of folks quoting numbers from “financial reports” without saying what report they’re citing.

To be clear, I don’t allege this article has a bias. Just that I’m going to be sceptical of a paper calling something out that aligns with their priors.


I see what you mean now. The CNBC article does a better job at discussing the technical impacts, while both the NPR and El País are more oriented toward social impacts.

What is most surprising to me is the price increase for dairy products. I wonder how much of that increase, if any, is caused by tariffs vs other factors.
