The national news is also derived from journalists and republished from other sources such as the Associated Press. There is minimal use of loaded language in headlines: Trump says he will end birthright citizenship via executive order.
Editorially, The Globe favors the left in both story selection and consistent Democratic candidate endorsements. For example, in 2024, they endorsed Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden for President.
