In a college psychology course, my class studied an experiment. This is an oversimplification, but the experiment went as follows. A group of college students was shown a paper on which a six-inch line was drawn. The paper was passed to the students sitting around the table. They were asked to estimate the length of the line.

Since November 2025, Apple News has shown a strong left-leaning bias, promoting 72% of top stories from left-leaning outlets but only 1% from right-leaning sources.

A new analysis by the Media Research Center found that the top five newspapers and magazines most promoted by Apple News and Google News have exclusively endorsed Democratic presidential candidates in every election since 1988, marking the latest evidence of the rampant bias plaguing these influential digital news gatekeepers.
