Apple News stories from conservative outlets rise to a paltry 2% in February from 0%: ‘Damage control’
Less than 2% of the top stories on Apple News last month came from right-leaning news outlets — a paltry increase from 0% a month earlier that amounts to “damage control” in the face of a possible federal crackdown on media bias, according to a conservative watchdog.
As The Post exclusively reported, Apple came under fire last month after a Media Research Center study showed it failed to feature a single article by a conservative outlet among the top stories on its popular news app in January.
In a Feb. 11 letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson formally warned that Apple could be violating federal consumer protection laws against “unfair or deceptive acts or practices.” Apple News finally featured an article by a right-leaning outlet on Feb 12 — its first in 100 days — when it promoted a Fox News story about the death of actor James Van Der Beek.
