Free Speech

EXCLUSIVE: The most influential digital news aggregators continue deciding which outlets get seen and who gets ignored. Fresh evidence collected by the Media Research Center further corroborates that left-leaning outlets remain the primary beneficiaries.

Yahoo News featured a left-leaning story on Scott Pelley’s firing from CBS News, the headline framing it as resistance to Trump, rather than focusing on Pelley's reported outburst at leadership. Yahoo ignored more balanced coverage from centrist or right-leaning outlets, highlighting concerns about media bias.

White House AI advisor David Sacks and the White House set the record straight after The New York Times implied that the Trump administration might be micromanaging AI companies with its new executive order. 

Microsoft’s MSN briefly achieved near-perfect news balance over Memorial Day weekend 2026, posting its first neutral Digital News Tracker rating since MRC began monitoring. However, most right-leaning features were non-political, while left-leaning sources dominated political coverage—suggesting apparent neutrality, but ongoing underlying bias.

Website traffic for Newsweek, Al Jazeera, and The Minnesota Star Tribune closely mirrored how often their stories were promoted on top news aggregators—Apple News, Google News, and MSN. When promotion increased, so did traffic; when it dropped, audience numbers also fell, showing the outsized influence these digital gatekeepers have on major media outlets’ visibility.

EXCLUSIVE: The Big Four News Apps follow a predictable script: elevate articles from left-leaning outlets, suppress their right-leaning counterparts, while giving prime real estate to some of the most radical news outlets on the left.

An award-winning investigative journalist. Four major bombshell reports. Billions of dollars potentially exploited by shady individuals. Allegations of a scheme so sprawling that state officials appear incapable of containing it. A presidential priority with his top officials appointed to end the fraud. And a seemingly unconcerned media and tech cabal burying the news.

In April, Apple News overwhelmingly promoted left-leaning outlets (70%) and suppressed right-leaning perspectives (2%), especially on the Iran conflict and Trump administration immigration issues, according to an MRC study. The platform highlighted stories with anti-Trump framing, sidelining conservative coverage and favoring elite, leftist media.

Editors across Wikipedia are going all out to salvage the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) reputation. 

The Big Four News Apps—Apple News, Google News, MSN, and Yahoo News—overwhelmingly promote left-leaning sources, creating a digital bias similar to political gerrymandering. Research from MRC shows how these tech giants routinely suppress right-leaning outlets, skewing public perception and limiting balanced coverage for millions of Americans.

After the SPLC was indicted for wire fraud and money laundering, major news apps Google News, MSN, and Yahoo News ignored the scandal in their top stories, while Apple News only featured two left-leaning articles. Right-leaning coverage was available but omitted, highlighting media bias in the Big Four News Apps’ reporting.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo interviewed Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell about an explosive new MRC special report exposing the extreme left-wing bias of the Big Four News Apps, Apple, Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
