A new Media Research Center study is raising fresh concerns about how Apple News curates information for millions of Americans, and MRC President David Bozell says the implications stretch far beyond media bias.

In a Friday interview on The Derek Hunter Show on WMAL radio, Bozell pointed to Apple’s own admission that its news curation relies heavily on human editors rather than neutral algorithms. “Apple publicly acknowledged that its curation system is human driven,” Bozell explained. “There’s a lot of editorial decision making going on at Apple, certainly a lot more than some of the others.”

According to the MRC study, Apple News continues to sideline right-leaning outlets while elevating leftist media sources in its daily national headlines. Bozell noted that although users can technically customize their feeds, the practical options are limited. “You are subject to the digital subscribers that Apple provides,” he said, adding that “the right wing ecosystem that exists to subscribe to on Apple is almost non-existent.”

The consequences, Bozell warned, are political as well as cultural. Many Americans — particularly older users and busy workers who rely on quick headline scans — depend on these aggregators as their primary news source. “They’re just going to pop on Apple and see what’s happening,” he said. “And it’s always negative against the President and this administration.”

For Bozell, the study is a call to action for conservatives to demand fair treatment — or begin building alternative media ecosystems of their own.
