**Apple News Bias Sparks FTC Investigation**
In a striking revelation, Apple News has come under scrutiny for promoting an overwhelming number of left-leaning articles, failing to include any from conservative outlets over a recent 100-day period.
According to reports, nearly 1,300 left-wing articles were highlighted, while conservative perspectives received zero attention. This blatant disregard for balanced media representation has caught the eye of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is investigating whether Apple's actions align with its own terms of service and consumer expectations.
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson's letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasizes the potential violation of the FTC Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices. Ferguson noted that while the commission cannot force Apple to change its political stance, its current practices may mislead consumers expecting a more diverse array of viewpoints.
Critics of Apple News argue that the app has long leaned left, but the latest figures paint a stark picture of a platform that appears unwilling to provide a fair hearing to conservative voices. This pattern raises concerns about the role of tech giants in shaping public discourse and further illustrates the growing divide between mainstream media and alternative viewpoints.
Conservatives have vocally called for accountability, urging consumers to demand change in how media is curated and presented. As discussions around media bias intensify, this situation serves as a reminder of the importance of diverse representation in news outlets—something that Apple News clearly fails to deliver.
With the FTC now involved, it remains to be seen how Apple will respond to these concerns and whether it will take steps to rectify the perceived imbalance. As media continues to impact public opinion, the call for equality in representation has never been more urgent.
