Apple News Censors Right-Leaning Media for Entire Week
17th November 2025
In the past week, the Apple News aggregator entirely excluded right-leaning media outlets in its top 20 daily stories.
During the week of Nov. 8-14 Apple promoted articles from NPR, The Washington Post and NBC, but Fox News Digital was notably missing from the Apple News daily lineup. Fox News Digital is the third most-visited news site in America according to Statista’s list of “[l]eading global English-language news websites” calculated by monthly visits. New York Post and Daily Mail are not far behind. However, not a single Fox News, New York Post or Daily Mail article appeared among the top 20 news articles curated by Apple News editors each day of the week.
News aggregators curate articles from various sources to create a news feed that includes a wide range of outlets.
Of the 140 articles MRC Free Speech America researchers examined, 93 were from outlets rated “left” or “lean-left” by AllSides.
