Nearly 6 in 10 Americans get their news from just four apps: Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft’s MSN. Those apps come preloaded on almost every iPhone, Android, and Windows computer. A Media Research Center study tracked what they actually push for months. Right-leaning outlets make up about 15 percent of the top news sites in the country. They showed up in only 1 percent of Apple News feed appearances and 2.7 percent on Google News across 10 months of data.
- In January, Apple News promoted 620 top stories. Zero came from any right-leaning source. Fox News and the New York Post never appeared once.
- Google News was only slightly better in February: out of 487 top stories, just 11 (2.2 percent) were right-leaning. More than 64 percent came from left-leaning outlets.
- A broader look at the Big Four in April found the apps promoted left-leaning outlets 92 percent of the time and right-leaning ones only 17 percent of the time. Even the few right-leaning stories that made it through were mostly non-political features.
- NPR, ranked about 20th in popularity, got linked 155 times by Apple News and 121 times by Google News in six months. The New York Post ranks in the top 10 and Breitbart in the top 35. Both got zero promotion.
- Under new Apple CEO John Ternus, the tilt got worse. In September, Apple News pushed stories from left-leaning outlets 67 percent of the time and right-leaning outlets just 0.5 percent of the time. That is three stories out of 572.
How is media bias influencing voters in the midterms? @NewsBusters Managing Editor @CurtisHouck explains the disconnect between press coverage and reality:
“The American people should expect from their news media — at the very least when it comes to debate-centric shows — an honest, robust examination of the facts and various viewpoints. And far too often, we have not seen that.”

These apps do not call the outlets they favor “left wing.” They call them legacy media or simply “news.” Readers see the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, NBC, the Guardian, and CNN over and over. They almost never see the other side on the same stories. That is how you lie by leaving things out. Millions of people check their phones for the day’s headlines and never hear that another version of events even exists. This is how the RINOS and Democrats have any support at all. If you remove this corrupt influence, the actual people voting for Democrats would be closer to 20% or 25% of the voters at most. The rest are ignorant, kept in the dark, or lied to directly by the Left and Deep State.
They shape and change their stories at will…
David Bozell at the Media Research Center says the public ends up with little real choice. Apple News is already on the iPhone. Google News is already on the Android. Most people do not go hunting for other sources after work or between jobs. The apps decide what counts as news before the reader ever opens them.
The same pattern shows up on specific stories that matter for elections and public opinion. Scandals involving Democratic candidates get buried while the same apps elevate critical pieces about Republicans. Busy people scanning headlines get one picture of the country. The picture leaves out large parts of what is actually happening. Track how these narratives move through the midterms and past elections at the election hub: https://dedicatedissues.com/election/.
Whatfinger News has tracked this kind of filtering for years. The numbers from the Media Research Center study simply make the pattern harder to ignore. The apps have the reach. They choose the stories. Readers get the version that fits the outlets the apps already prefer. The Left and the Deep State use this to keep Americans in the dark, as only the ignorant vote for Democrats.
Never forget as well, the Left and Deep State stole billions of our tax dollars and now pay ‘influencers’ all over the net to lie for them, to defeat Republicans of the MAGA persuasion.
This right here is what paid propaganda [ultra left wing media] stinks/ looks like.
Democrat influencers are make videos using the exact same script, word for word, targeting Elon Musk saying he’s buying the midterms elections.
Again, WORD FOR WORD. All Democrats have is paid propaganda.
They rely on people believing they’re paid propagandists reading scripts for money.
