Punchbowl News
U.S. center (Washington insider)
Punchbowl News is an independently owned Washington newsletter and podcast launched in 2021 by three former Politico journalists, focused narrowly on Congress and Capitol Hill power players. It is funded mainly by corporate sponsors and advertisers, many of whom have lobbying interests before Congress, which critics say creates a potential conflict with independent reporting. Its coverage of the Trump administration is factual and insider-oriented, reporting congressional friction and policy developments without a consistent editorial tilt for or against the administration.
