Apple News Reaches New Milestone, Suppressing Right-Leaning Outlets to Close Out 2025
9th January 2026
Apple News failed to link to a single right-leaning media outlet among its top 20 daily articles during the month of December. Out of the 620 opportunities analyzed at approximately 10:00 a.m. each day by the Media Research Center, Apple News whiffed every single time.
Instead, dozens of times Apple News published articles from leftist outlets like The Washington Post, NBC News and NPR and center outlets like Reuters, The Wall Street Journal and the BBC.
You have to go all the way back to Nov. 5 of last year to find the last time Apple News deigned to link to a single right-leaning site. That story was from British outlet The Telegraph covering the atrocities taking place in Sudan: “In Sudan’s genocide, Only Those Who Pay Survive.” Ironically, Apple hid the article behind the Apple News+ paywall and only paid subscribers could read the full article.
