The coverage will begin with the Democratic primary debate on February 7, 2020 in New Hampshire. Apple News will feature ABC News videos and live-streaming coverage, as well as FiveThirtyEight polling data, infographics, and analysis during key moments in the 2020 election, according to Apple.

Apple News, ABC News, and WMUR-TV will also partner for the February debate, the first to be held after primary voting begins.

The partnership will extend through Super Tuesday, the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, the general election debates, election night, and the 2021 presidential inauguration.

Even a cursory view over the mainstream media shows how crap all of them are. None of the "journalists" or analysts seems to have read or understood the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or been able to contextualize any US foreign policy from WW2 til today (and I say that as a fairly MotR centrist).

Apple siding with any of these clowns in the media circus won't inform a single reader / viewer, but will instead be to promote whatever viewpoint is beneficial to Apple and just get everyone riled up in their echo chamber (left or right - equally insular)
 
The media coverage and editorial isn’t about philosophy but ad sales and eyeballs, and this includes Breitbart et al. Capitalism in action.

Which is insane.
The Republican party in 1970 would be considered liberal today. (not counting LGBTQ and any number of social issues)

It's not so much that any news source is Left or Right, it's that almost all of them focus entirely on controversy and ridiculousness while shilling for the political establishment. Any of the major outlets will have this problem.
