Special Report: 634 Left vs. 41 Right — While Trump Fights Iran, Big Four News Apps Attack Trump
Big Four news apps (Apple News, Google News, MSN, Yahoo News) ran 634 left-leaning stories versus only 41 right-leaning ones on the Iran conflict, shutting out conservative perspectives to under 5 percent of coverage.
Aggregators promoted sensational, negative headlines that attacked Trump and the successful U.S. military campaign while downplaying the destruction of Iranian military capabilities and leadership.
This one-sided curation by platforms reaching over 550 million monthly visits undermined the Trump administration during active operations and amplified left-driven narratives on the war.
STUDY: War Coverage 88% Negative: High on Price Hikes, Thin on Threat of Terrorist State
A Media Research Center study of ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news found 88 percent of evaluative statements about the Iran War were negative, with ABC at 93 percent and CBS at 92 percent.
Coverage heavily emphasized domestic gas price hikes and economic pain while giving little attention to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, terrorism support, or U.S. military successes against the regime.
The networks focused on casualty counts, congressional opposition, and public discontent but downplayed the strategic threats posed by Iran and the rationale for preventing a nuclear-armed terrorist state.
The View DEMANDS You Stop Blaming Violence on Liberals, Claims Trump Is a Dictator
Whoopi Goldberg shouted down criticism of left-wing rhetoric, demanding people stop linking it to assassination attempts on Trump and Republicans.
Joy Behar insisted Trump alone caused all division in America and joined Goldberg in claiming his White House ballroom proves he plans to stay in office like a dictator.
The hosts pushed inflammatory accusations and dismissed counterpoints while showing hypocrisy on political violence and rhetoric.
Supreme Court Upholds Decision Ending Louisiana’s Race-Based Gerrymandering
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Louisiana's 2024 redistricting, which created an additional majority-Black district based on race, violated the Equal Protection Clause.
The Court held that the Voting Rights Act does not require adding minority districts and does not justify intentional race-based map drawing outside narrow exceptions.
This decision strengthens challenges to race-based gerrymandering nationwide and affirms that states may draw districts for partisan reasons but not primarily on race.
