Eddy Cue: Apple 'Trying to Do Some Things' to Combat the Spread of Fake News

[crashoverride77]

I've never had trouble discerning fake news.
Besides, the media has never been trustworthy.
Todays media is nearly 100% oped anway.
Trust your gut...not the TV.
If you want to know the truth.... read the Bible and find a good Prophet.
It takes very little effort or intelligence to be a scoffer.

That's the fakest of the fake news right there. Hilarious that you follow that up with the word intelligence.

Exactly!

The only thing fake in these discussions is the uproar over "fake news". Sadly i have to believe this is being orchrastrated to justify censorship by big corporations to promote their workd views.

To put it as simply as possibke there hasnt been enough fake news to justify any of these attempts to control the news. People need to wake up here, we are at greater risk of loosing our freedoms to big corporations rather than the government these days.


[doublepost=1487105874][/doublepost]You cant be serious!! CNN and the New York Times have been the worst examples of late. Very biased and often unethical reporting.


[doublepost=1487106463][/doublepost]Actually Obama trued many thingfs with resoect to weapons including using the Social Security Adminstration to go after the guns of veterans. Thankfully he was never able to realize all of his goals with respect to weapons but had set Clinton up to follow through. You need to realize that the Democrats realize that they can never implement their dictatorship as long as the American people are free to defend thenselves. Thus the policy of the democrats is to disarm America. Once that is done you can say goid bye to the Bill of Rights.


[doublepost=1487107347][/doublepost]Drudgereport is less biased than many. In any event Drudge doesnt go around claiming they will censor the news for you. This is perhaps the thing that most pisses ne off about Apple, they are shamelessly embracing censorship. They appear to be doing so to their benefit not to the benefit of the readers.

So who do you trust Drudge with its political slant or Apple with a deisre to curate the news and now to censor based on the eishy washy definition of "fake news". Frankly i will have nothing to do with Apples News service as i really believe it represents some of the most horrible things to ever come out of big business.

Ed Cue and Tim Cuck are full of crap.

Apple News is their political platform that spreads fake news. The majority of Apple News headlines and sources all coincidentally agree with Apple's political views, preferring to push highly biased and compromised sources like CNN and the Washington Post. Apple News is not an app or service for users, it's another corporation pushing their political viewpoint on you and calling it news.

Example of a typical Apple News feed:

What happens if you turn off everything except Fox, which is also biased and compromised, but more often than not has headlines that disagree with Apple's political beliefs:

Oh, you only get celebrity gossip when the source isn't one that Apple agrees with. How progressive of them. How informative.

Apple News is a fake news. Take that crap off your device.

You say CNN is a compromised source because they have stories about Flynn? Trump just fired him!

Obviously the turmoil surrounding Flynn isn't fake news if the guy who says he completely ignores CNN fired Flynn.

So not sure what your point is by showing those screen shots.

The bible? That's the original fake news. Bunch a stories to keep goat herding nomads in line.

How can you expect to ever know if you have [obviously] already pre-judged it?

You realize you get to choose the sources, can you do that on Drudge...no. So what's your point, other than not understanding or possible never using Apple News or Google News?

Just like apps, I can choose anything that Apple agrees should be on my phone. If they don't agree, then guess what? I can't install it. That is the problem.
