There was a time not too long ago that you could get on Linked In and see that many of the people who were in charge of Apple News were people had previous ties to various left-wing news outlets, think tanks, and activist centers. It is harder to find now. As this Guardian piece notes, Apple News employees now tend to not note that they work for Apple News. Others have cleaned up their resumes so you can’t tell they’re from leftwing interest groups now sending you push alerts from Apple to highlight left leaning news items and talking points.

Conservative ire has been focused on Facebook. There’s been understandable hostility to Google and Twitter. But Apple has mostly gotten a pass.
The difference tends to be that social media giants more and more rely on algorithms, but Apple relies on human editors who mostly lean left and have leftwing biases.

I think most normal people are skeptical of any news from any tech company including Apple. I don’t think people need to see bylines in order to assume left-wing slant.
I noticed and changed the news items I receive to only the sources I want to receive. Fixed.
Practically all the electronic media has gone over to the left. If it weren’t for forums like this one, we would never see the truth.
Apple is run by leftists?
I’m shocked.
SHOCKED, I tell you.
This is hugh.
