According to the MRC, Yahoo News is the most left-leaning of the Big Four News Apps, promoting articles from left-wing and radical outlets 87% of the time in February 2026, far more than its competitors. With massive online reach, this bias significantly influences American news and political narratives.

A Media Research Center study found that, since the start of the Homeland Security shutdown on February 14, only eight percent – or 125 seconds – of the 26 minutes and 22 seconds on the shutdown across the flagship evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC have brought up the fact that the long lines at airports and TSA agents working without pay are because of the left’s obstructionism demanding…

Beginning in December 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers undertook “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, arresting illegal immigrants with criminal records, displeasing the pro-amnesty press and far-left activist mobs. Media ire flamed up January 7, 2026 after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Good in her car during an immigration enforcement operation, after…

The broadcast networks (ABC,CBS,NBC) and the Big Four news apps are mostly ignoring President Donald Trump’s popular voter ID proposal. 

EXCLUSIVE: As Apple News faces relentless criticism for systematically erasing right-leaning sources from its app, Microsoft’s MSN has quietly pulled a similar stunt. But unlike Apple’s brazen elimination of right-leaning outlets, MSN camouflages its censorship behind a thin veil of human interest stories from Fox News.

The late night comedians reacted to the start of the Iran War with not only a week of disapproval but also a lopsided joke count. According to a new Media Research Center study, the hosts told 94 percent of their war-related jokes about the United States and our allies.

MRC analysts reviewed the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news shows from February 11 (when the SAVE America Act passed the House) to the morning of March 6 and found the broadcast networks have completely BURIED the bill. 

After an MRC report went viral exposing Apple News for zero right-leaning top stories in January, Apple News modestly increased right-leaning outlets to just 2% in the second half of February, with 75% still from left-leaning sources. Critics say this minor shift after FTC scrutiny is “damage control,” not true balance, and claim Apple News still suppresses conservative views.

On early Sunday morning in Austin, Texas, a gunman fired into crowds of pedestrians from his moving vehicle, wounding 14 people and ultimately killing three. The shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, a muslim immigrant from Senegal, was wearing a hoodie that read, “Property of Allah.” Left-wing cable networks CNN and MS NOW have reported all of the above details at least once — all except the fact that…

On Wednesday, bombshell news broke that former President Joe Biden’s FBI had obtained phone records on current FBI Director Kash Patel and former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023 when they were private citizens. That led to the FBI firing 10 employees. So how much time did ABC, CBS, NBC devote to these developments in the lawfare case waged against President Donald Trump…

Google News promoted only left-leaning outlets’ coverage of President Trump’s State of the Union, according to an MRC review. Eight of nine featured articles were from liberal sources, with none from right-leaning media. The selection highlighted negative or critical takes on Trump, raising concerns over bias and lack of ideological diversity in Google’s news curation.

A study found that from Feb. 1–14, 2026, Apple News overwhelmingly featured immigration stories from left-leaning or centrist outlets, excluding right-leaning sources, and offered twice as much coverage on immigration as the Winter Olympics.

On Monday, CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, denounced FCC chairman Brendan Carr for threatening to use the agency’s equal time rule against the late night comedy shows, which he claimed led CBS to force him to put his interview with State Rep. James Talarico on YouTube. With the equal time rule now in the news, NewsBusters analysts dug into the archive to find out when…

A Media Research Center study revealed Apple News promoted 1,379 left-leaning articles and only one right-leaning piece over 100 days, raising concerns of bias. Following FTC scrutiny and a stock dip, Apple featured a Fox News story. Critics argue this limits conservative voices and public perception, while Apple insists users can customize news feeds.
