Ever Wonder Why So Many People Sound Like MSNBC Bobbleheads? [WATCH]

Britt Hughes of the Media Research Center said a review of Apple News content found that the platform’s most visible headlines heavily favored left-leaning outlets and perspectives, contributing to what she described as a skewed public understanding of political issues.

Hughes discussed the findings after her organization examined more than 600 articles featured in Apple News morning editions during the month of January.

She said the morning edition is one of the app’s most heavily trafficked time slots.

Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement

“Have you ever wondered why your niece or your next door neighbor or that crazy woman at your kids school is buying all of this left wing garbage and sounds like an MSNBC bobblehead every time they open their mouth?” Hughes said.

“Here’s why, more than 140 million people use the Apple news app every month, making it one of the most popular news apps in the world. So it matters what stories go on it.”

According to Hughes, the Media Research Center analyzed the January content and found that the majority of articles came from outlets she characterized as left-leaning.

“We at the Media Research Center analyzed more than 600 articles featured in the Apple news morning editions in the month of January, which is one of the app’s most high traffic time slots,” Hughes said.

“Of those, 440 were from left wing rags like the AP, NBC, The Washington Post and The New York Times, all of them painted the Trump administration’s foreign and immigration policies negatively.”

Hughes said the review found no representation from conservative outlets during that period.

“Not one single article from a right leaning outlet or perspective like Fox News or the New York Post was featured not one,” she said.

She added that as of Monday, Apple News had gone nearly three months without featuring a conservative outlet in its top stories.

“In fact, as of Monday, Apple news had gone 96 consecutive days without featuring a single story from a conservative news outlet on its top stories. The last one was on November 5, when they ran a piece from the telegraph about the civil war in the Sudan,” Hughes said.

Hughes argued that the platform’s content selection affects how millions of Americans view national issues.

“This is why millions of Americans don’t know about things like the violent criminal aliens being arrested by ice or the true impact of voter fraud, and think that there’s evidence that Donald Trump abused children contained in the Epstein files. There’s not because millions of Americans rely on big tech to supply them with their news, and all they’re getting is left wing propaganda slop, and they’re buying it,” Hughes said.

WATCH:

Apple News is widely used across the United States and internationally, with more than 140 million monthly users, according to Hughes’ remarks.

The Media Research Center’s review focused specifically on headline placement and top stories during a defined time period in January.

Hughes said the analysis reflects what she believes is a broader imbalance in how major technology platforms curate news content, particularly on issues related to immigration, voter fraud, and coverage of President Trump’s administration.
