Futurism
U.S. center-left
Futurism is a science and technology news site owned by Recurrent Ventures, a portfolio media company that also publishes Popular Science, Outdoor Life, and The Drive. It leans left-center, with a strong pro-science editorial line and persistent skepticism toward policies that affect research, climate, and technology. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been broadly critical, concentrating on federal science funding cuts, DOGE-driven layoffs at research agencies, and the rollback of climate programs.
