The alleged bias of Apple News: Tech giant's leadership filled with major Dem donors
Fox News ^ | February 26, 2026 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Apple's popular news app is facing increased scrutiny over alleged political bias, but the overwhelming left-wing tilt at the top of the company may be a factor.

Of the 25 people listed on Apple's leadership page, 15 of them made substantial contributions to Democrats in various election cycles, according to a review of FEC filings. Just six Apple executives have any record of contributing to Republicans — though four of them gave far more amounts to Democrats.

Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, donated $236,100 to the Hillary Victory Fund in 2016 and $2,300 for President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, according to filings. In 2016, Cook made $10,000 donations to nearly 20 Democratic state parties and was a past donor to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., California Rep. Zoe Lofgren and now-retired Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy.

Cook, however, also made four-digit campaign contributions to Republicans like former House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Ohio Sen. Rob Portman during the 2016 election cycle. More recently, he reportedly made a $1 million contribution to President Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Formula One states its 2026 season solely on Apple. The media bias is rampant that Cupertino helps the Left rampantly.

F1 (more than MLS because national games are Fox or FS1) is the best example of how Apple will push its leftist bias on everything.

I don’t know about the news, but we tried Apple TV streaming and it was loaded with leftist crap so we ditched it.

ALLEGED? Gee, I accidentally ended up on the Apple News site - it is 100% anti-Trump and completely pro-leftist. The headlines are bad and the articles are even worse.

Yes, a collector like Google News, and every time I see it on other people’s phones (I refuse to give my conservative money to the communists at Apple) its jarring and shocking.

I would recommend MSNBC as the right wing alternative to Apple News. (Sarcasm, yet, not really sarcastic)

Apple News definitely helps get more democrats elected. I have no doubts at all. I’ve seen that poison. Glad I don’t carry Apple filth iPhones.

I work for Apple. Specifically on the “News” app. Can confirm it is 100% biased leftward. Default news feed is nothing but the NY times, the Guardian, the LA times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and other left wing rags. Anything even remotely close to center or right you must search for explicitly. And lots of sites I read every day aren’t even available.
They are the most woke company in the world bar none. You should see some of the freaks I work with. Trannies, non binary, outright flamboyant fags, furries, you name it.
You should see the weekly company wide email. It’s infuriating.
However, they do make a great product and pay very well.
I’m only a few months away from retirement so if our fag CEO gets wind of this post I really don’t give a shit.

Apple sold its soul to the CCP when they manufactured all of their AppleCrap in China. You cannot do business there without taking orders from the CCP. Plus, whatever tech you use has to be handed over.

That’s why Apple controls Super Bowl Halftime and Formula One. They want more control because the auto industry will be pushing the Left’s EV mandate and Net Zero by 2030 when they’re racing F1. Watch the automakers complain when nobody’s watching Apple TV.

So did Dell, Samsung, and anyone who makes PCs and cell phones.

I have an iPhone and every time I enter the word President in an blog, Apple’s AI offers up a democrat president’s name, never Trump’s name. I hate that.
