Remember that time before the 2020 election when everyone was focused on social media election interference? -
Douglas MurrayApple has set up a sneaky little system of its own, to make sure that its customers get
indoctrinated in one political direction.- A study showed that out of 166 articles pushed by Apple News over a two-week period, exactly half came from left-leaning outlets.
- Most of the rest came from “centrist” news sources.
Not one of the stories in the carefully curated “top news” stories section came from an outlet that would be classified as “right-leaning.”
- In January, Apple’s top stories consisted of 620 stories from left-leaning and other news sources.
- Exactly zero stories came from any outlet that could be described as right-leaning.
Among other tricks, Apple tries to justify this by rating news sources on their
“trustworthiness.”- And who could have guessed that conservative or other right-leaning outlets are consistently graded as “untrustworthy”?
- While almost any left-wing news site will be graded as the most trustworthy news sources of all time.Apple never seems to offer any stories from right-leaning news sites...
