David Bozell, who leads the Media Research Center, says his group in analyzing one month of stories on Apple News found that of 620 stories that Apple had promoted on its top feeds, "not a single one of those stories was from a right-wing news source. Not one. Zero.”
According to research by the MRC, out of 487 top stories last February on Google News, only 11, or 2.2%, were right-leaning; 314, or 64.5%, were left-leaning and 162, or 33.3%, were in the center.
As for Apple News, last January, out of the 620 top stories, there were zero right-leaning ones and 440 left-leaning. Articles on popular websites such as Fox News and the New York Post were never promoted.
A broader "Big Four” analysis in April showed the apps promoted 92% left-leaning outlets and only 17% of right-leaning ones. And when "right-leaning” outlets were promoted, Bozell says, they were typically non-political features that don’t really lean left or right.
Bozell says some of the patterns regarding what news is promoted among the news apps make no sense – unless there’s a paid arrangement that’s not being offered to right-wing news outlets. He points to stories by left-leaning NPR being promoted dozens of times on Apple News while more popular conservative news sites get zero visibility.
