Less than 2% of the top stories featured on Apple News in February came from right-leaning outlets—a minimal uptick from 0% in January that a conservative watchdog group dismisses as mere “damage control” amid threats of federal action over alleged media bias. As The New York Post exclusively reported, Apple faced significant backlash last month after a Media Research Center analysis revealed that not a single article from a conservative outlet appeared among the top stories on its widely used news app during January. Thomas Barrabi for The New York Post:
Kern was previously Executive Editor at New York magazine and ,m prior to that, the Deputy Editor of The New York Times Magazine (from 2010 to 2014). Which ought to tell you all you need to know about why Apple News, out of the box, leans left. On the day Lauren Kern was named first Editor-in-Chief of Apple News, we wrote, “Interesting choice that could open Apple News up for some additional criticism.” Yup, our crystal ball is still flawless! Who determines what’s “real” news and what’s “fake?” Cook seems to want “technology companies'” idea of what’s “real” to be “ingrained in the schools” and “ingrained in the public.” Technology companies, again, who donated 99% of their political dollars to one party in the last U.S. Presidential election. If this is really what Cook desires then… Wow. Just wow. – MacDailyNews, February 11, 2017 So, if TIME Canada puts the next-gen iPhone on their cover a day before Apple’s unveiling or some website criticizes Apple’s software quality, where do those stories go in Apple’s News app? Do they even show up at all? Or how about positive news articles involving politicians with whom Tim Cook & Co. do not agree/actively oppose? – MacDailyNews, June 15, 2015 As always, readers of “news” need to consider the sources and interpret what they are are being told accordingly. The more disparate sources you can find, the better. And we don’t mean different newspaper, network, website brands that are all owned by the same conglomerate. Determining the actual ownership of your “news” sources is an investment that requires a bit of time, but it is very enlightening. – MacDailyNews, June 17, 2015 Support MacDailyNews at no extra cost to you by using this link to shop at Amazon.
