The most-promoted news outlets on Apple News and Google News haven’t endorsed a Republican in the last 10 presidential elections — the latest sign of alleged anti-conservative bias by the popular news aggregators, according to a new analysis.
Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group that tracks media bias, found that newspapers and magazines featured most prominently on the Apple News and Google News feeds have exclusively endorsed Democratic presidential candidates since 1988 — while Republicans received zero endorsements.
Apple News’ five most-featured outlets — the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, the Los Angeles Times and USA Today — endorsed Democrats a combined 28 times since 1988.
The Times editorial board endorsed Democrats in every single election dating back to Michael Dukakis in 1988 — a total of 10 times. WaPo has endorsed Democratic candidates on eight occasions; the Guardian, five times; the LA Times, four times; and USA Today once.
Google News’ five most-featured outlets — the New York Times, the Guardian, the Washington Post, USA Today and the Atlantic — endorsed Democrats a combined 27 times. The Atlantic did it three times dating back to 2016.
All told, the most prominent outlets on Apple News and Google News had a 31-0 endorsement record in favor of Democrats.
“Big Tech executives insist their news platforms serve as objective public squares, but our findings lay bare the massive corporate tilt driving these algorithms,” MRC President David Bozell said in a statement. “Apple and Google systematically funnel tens of millions of users into media sources that have backed Democrats for president 31 times without a single Republican endorsement in 40 years.

Never buy anything Apple it’s Rotten
Exactly how you rig elections. Get people to quit watching local news (Sinclair especially). Rely on Apple and Google for everything. You won’t hear anything outside what San Francisco wants you to hear.

The “brain trust” of the Far Left.

Google needs to be broken up under antitrust laws. The same with Apple and Amazon.
