There was a time not too long ago that you could get on Linked In and see that many of the people who were in charge of Apple News were people had previous ties to various left-wing news outlets, think tanks, and activist centers. It is harder to find now. As this Guardian piece notes, Apple News employees now tend to not note that they work for Apple News. Others have cleaned up their resumes so you can’t tell they’re from leftwing interest groups now sending you push alerts from Apple to highlight left leaning news items and talking points.

There is progressivism and a lack of transparency.

Conservative ire has been focused on Facebook. There’s been understandable hostility to Google and Twitter. But Apple has mostly gotten a pass.

The difference tends to be that social media giants more and more rely on algorithms, but Apple relies on human editors who mostly lean left and have leftwing biases.

Start paying attention to the push alerts from Apple News and the chief stories displayed. The company that won’t stand up to China and takes reliably progressive stances on a host of social issues is going to use its progressivism to shape the news you get.
