Goes to that massive companies that would benefit most from Trump's Pandering to the 1% and Tax deals for corporations while realise how awful he is.
You have a gameshow host as you president and that's actually the nicest thing I could say about him
Who says Apple isn't gonna validate a certain group's political opinions as well?
why? Isn’t this of vital importance to voters?
Being from a country at a time where people were murdered because they voted. It dismays me how US citizens shirk voting.....
You live in a country where it changes political party without so much as a shot being fired.
Maybe you just don’t know what you have?
It's pretty telling that the people who think everything is biased are the same people who still think Clinton will somehow be the nominee.

Thinking everything is biased is just an excuse to convince yourself that you're right and everything else is wrong.
Coverage is biased on both sides. Fox News coverage has been just to deny everything, even when confronted with the facts.
Our politics is in the state it is in because of us voters. Plain and simple.
1: Cook/Apple will support whoever lines their pockets. Apple is a money machine, nothing more. Most of the time, the machine spits out goods and services I think are worthy of my hard grafted coin, and I purchase them.
2: How does this result in me getting a decent in the box charger for my next iPhone?
Apple likes to keep surfing this wave of "think different" and out of the box-ism that Jobs and Woz brought to the table many moons ago. What's worth doing is surely worth doing for money, but the love of it died with Jobs. There's no altruism, or over arching concern for one's fellow man in this corporation. It's all cash. Which is fine. Just remember, Apple isn't concerned with YOUR cause celeb. They're concerned with how much more money they can make by supporting your cause.
Just keep maing stuff that I like and that works, and you can tell me to vote for Kodos. I really don't give a rats maximus.
Remember. Corporations are PEOPLE.

And what if the parties themselves don't represent the interests of their actual candidates? The NYT's "The Daily" podcast last week described exactly how listening to party insiders in 2016 was part of their reason they got the election wrong. You can hear the podcast here.

Reading curated articles is not seeking information - it is reading pre-selected articles presented by a few individuals.
There more than just a few sources. Unless you consider Facebook a source of news.
Or, one of those basement "news" sites.I wish that we had this in the UK too...

Reading curated articles is an interesting exercise: we know who is doing the curating, and are interested to observe what they are selecting for us.
You're not wrong, they are all garbage. I'll stick with AP and Reuters for the most part and when I'm feeling biases ill give Dailywire a read lol.
As an Independent I would hope Apple would try to keep their bias out of this. Right leaning folks deserve fair coverage just like the Left leaning folks. Humans will never completely agree on everything so just be respectful about it. If people like Bernie that’s great, if people like Trump that’s great. Let them be.
Three ways, you can go into the application and make adjustments to what you follow. You can go to the settings application and remove notifications for "news". And finally.. if those 2 things are still allowing to much to go though. Delete the application, go to the app store and redownload it. Then set it up from scratch.
Wake me up when it's time to cast my vote; I don't need 9 months of propaganda, from both sides, shoved into my (already) shattered mind. Peace.
I really wish News+ was a good app. Its just terribly clunky, especially on Mac (where I am most likely to use it). I even have a 3 month trial I just haven't used it more than 20min in the past few months.
I block Fox News in Apple News for the obvious reason. Hopefully it will work in the special coverage as well.
I like this. What people don’t understand is bias is for you to decide. What Apple is doing, is providing you with all the information available. It’s up to the individual to use their brain to think for themselves.
No outlet will ever be “bias” free. That’s not how information works. Apple even has a guide on misinformation so that you can learn how to think for yourself.

Anyone think that maybe the media bias is fair because the president does lots of bad things that is setting a bad precedent for future presidents, including liberal ones? This is just going to blow up in all of our faces multiple times moving forward. It's bad news no matter what "side" you're on.
Anyway, the Chiefs won the Super Bowl and Trump will lose the election so overall 2020 is looking pretty great aside from the Coronavirus now that World War III seems to be on the back burner.

Lol. Apple News will skew to the left this election cycle and it will be challenging to find some right leaning or center right leaning news of import on the app. To left tilting corporations like Apple, the Democrats are always on the side of the angels and if there is conservative coverage, it will just be pieces caricaturing the Republican Party as being the party of Hitler, or evil, or whatever. It's a joke.
Thank God for a free and open internet. I mean, as long as Liz Warren doesn't become president, as any coverage she doesn't agree with will land you in a gulag.
The News app is pretty though.

Probably curated to hate on Trump, most likely.
Dude, who pissed in your cereal this morning? Newsflash...insulting people and talking to them like you are...is the fastest way to turn them against you. You straight up invalidate any "point" you may have the second you start being an ass. Grow up, keyboard warrior.
