Oh boy, here we go.

If it’s not Fox News it’s not Fake News.

As opposed to Breitbart and Fox, those bastions of fact-based news reporting integrity?

 

[junkw]

the 98%-far-left US media monopoly at works

 

[Wiesenlooser]

Great. Now do the same for Chinese politics. Whoopsie.

I guess you have no clue what “far left” is. Here (Germany) even the democrats would be considered as conservative or slightly right.

 

[bollman]

far-left US media

Now, that's the definition of a oxymoron 😂

 

[laz232]

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)

While there's certainly a difference between MSM's (e.g., CNN, MSNBC, etc) brand of journalism ("infotainment") and that of Fox News and Breitbart, they're both spinning deceitful narratives that benefit only the elite class. The difference is that the latter does it openly while the former does it deceptively.

Don't forget Infowars. The pinnacle of well-sourced journalism can be found there.

Which is insane.

the 5th branch.. how exciting.

I welcome our tech overlords into this nightmare.

 

[dmaxdmax]

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)

 

[WaxedJacket]

Oh great, more narratives from the corporate press.

I really get behind this quote from Michael Malice, "The battle is won when the average American regards a corporate journalist exactly as they regard a tobacco executive."

 

[pweicks]

As if the media wasn't already too far left...

 

[GeoStructural]

Great. Now do the same for Chinese politics. Whoopsie.

Do not attack Apple’s selective core values. Some fanboy on MacRumors can have a heart attack.

 

[femike]

Well then, Apple News is off my list for election coverage. Thanks for the heads-up.

Personally I find the most unbiased source for my news to be DemocratWitchHuntTrump2020.maga

Didn’t ABC news just get busted For fake war footage shot at a range in Kentucky?

state run media.

I have found it helps to read news only, and then throw out all the adjectives. It is amazing how little actual information gets reported and how much is opinion.

aren’t journalists supposed to be objective?

 

[BGPL]

I'm sure we'll get a totally objective perspective with nothing but the facts.

 

[budafied]

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.
