Six years after COVID-19, tech giants censored news about Anthony Fauci hiding COVID-19 mRNA vaccine reactions, including apparent miscarriage risks. Apple News, Google News, and MSN ignored the story, instead promoting anti-Trump vaccine coverage. Right-leaning sources covered the topic, but the Big Three News Apps did not share them.

Yahoo’s AI-powered Yahoo 100 “trending” list heavily favors left-leaning sources, with only 3% of stories from right-leaning outlets over three months, per MRC analysis. The list’s bias stems from its use of Anthropic’s Claude, Microsoft Bing, Yahoo’s data, and editorial input—all of which have documented left-wing leanings.

Why do so many Americans feel compelled to consult multiple news outlets just to uncover the full story? That question was at the heart of Media Research Center President David Bozell’s appearance on Timcast IRL with Tim Pool on Friday night, where they engaged in a wide-ranging discussion on the growing crisis of trust in the media, the role of ideological bias in shaping news coverage, and…

This week, the “Big Three” Networks and News Apps shielded fellow elitist liberal, Dr. Tony Fauci, largely ignoring bombshell revelations from his pandemic-era diaries released Saturday by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) before Wednesday’s Senate hearing and, following the proceedings, promulgating Fauci’s preferred framing of a “deep, partisan,” and “fiery” affair foisted upon him by Republicans.

On Nov. 9, 2020, the Media Research Center blasted Big Tech and Big Media for stealing the 2020 election by censoring news and information after they hid the Biden family scandals from the American people. And now Big Media and Big Tech are threatening democracy again.

After President Donald Trump's 2024 victory appeared inevitable, tech giants rushed to project a friendlier posture toward him. But behind the scenes, their election meddling continued, most recently surfacing in Republican primaries in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms. 

EXCLUSIVE: The most influential digital news aggregators continue deciding which outlets get seen and who gets ignored. Fresh evidence collected by the Media Research Center further corroborates that left-leaning outlets remain the primary beneficiaries.

Microsoft’s MSN briefly achieved near-perfect news balance over Memorial Day weekend 2026, posting its first neutral Digital News Tracker rating since MRC began monitoring. However, most right-leaning features were non-political, while left-leaning sources dominated political coverage—suggesting apparent neutrality, but ongoing underlying bias.

Website traffic for Newsweek, Al Jazeera, and The Minnesota Star Tribune closely mirrored how often their stories were promoted on top news aggregators—Apple News, Google News, and MSN. When promotion increased, so did traffic; when it dropped, audience numbers also fell, showing the outsized influence these digital gatekeepers have on major media outlets’ visibility.

An award-winning investigative journalist. Four major bombshell reports. Billions of dollars potentially exploited by shady individuals. Allegations of a scheme so sprawling that state officials appear incapable of containing it. A presidential priority with his top officials appointed to end the fraud. And a seemingly unconcerned media and tech cabal burying the news.

EXCLUSIVE: The Big Four News Apps have flooded users with cruise ship headlines tied to hantavirus fears. Missing from any coverage, however, is news that federal immigration officials raided a Disney Cruise Line ship during a child sexual abuse investigation.

The Big Four News Apps—Apple News, Google News, MSN, and Yahoo News—overwhelmingly promote left-leaning sources, creating a digital bias similar to political gerrymandering. Research from MRC shows how these tech giants routinely suppress right-leaning outlets, skewing public perception and limiting balanced coverage for millions of Americans.

EXCLUSIVE: Last week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sent the media into a frenzy after comparing their anti-American smears to the Pharisees’ plot against Jesus. His point wasn’t far off, but he left out a key piece: the Big Four News Apps amplified that same narrative.

MRC’s analysis found that Apple News, Google News, Microsoft's MSN, and Yahoo News overwhelmingly promoted left-leaning sources—up to 70% of articles—while right-leaning outlets get as little as 5%. This bias, paired with each app’s vast reach, raises major concerns about media diversity and fair representation in digital news.
