MRC Exposes Apple and Google Pushing Media Outlets That Have Not Endorsed a Republican in 40 Years

The top newspapers and magazines most promoted by Apple News and Google News have exclusively backed Democratic presidential candidates in every election since 1988.

Across the last ten presidential elections, these tech-promoted outlets generated 31 endorsements for Democratic candidates and zero for Republicans.

Microsoft MSN follows a similar pattern, promoting outlets that backed Democrats 25 times and Republicans just twice over that same period.

Tech aggregators market their feeds as neutral news curation, yet their algorithms heavily feature outlets with a 100 percent Democratic endorsement record.

 

MRC Study Reveals Media Double Standard on Nazi Rhetoric and Political Insults

Elitist news outlets regularly normalize extreme Nazi and fascist comparisons when directed at Republican candidates.

Network coverage routinely expresses outrage or demands apologies whenever conservatives use strong political rhetoric against Democrats.

Major news programs frequently give airtime to commentators who make harsh personal attacks against right-leaning figures without pushback.

The coverage shows a clear pattern where identical political insults receive heavy condemnation or a full media pass depending on the party involved.

 

MRC Calls Out Media Smear Tactics in Coverage of Political Staffers

CNN media reporter Brian Stelter actively promoted personal attacks launched by Democrat Jon Ossoff against Republican staffer Natalie Harp.

Eitist media outlets turned political hit pieces from the Ossoff campaign into major news cycles while ignoring similar stories on the left.

Reporters showcased partisan campaign talking points targeting Harp as neutral news instead of political opposition research.

The coverage demonstrates how media figures assist Jon Ossoff and Democratic campaigns by laundering targeted smears through mainstream broadcasts.
