### Apple News Bias, Media Research Center Analysis

- **Episode:** [1843: Token Muncher](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1843-token-muncher.md)
- **Published:** 2026-02-15
- **Time:** 8:09–12:36
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1843-token-muncher/chapter/apple-news-bias-media-research-center-analysis.md

The Media Research Center analyzed over 600 stories on Apple News, finding that the platform went 96 consecutive days without featuring a single story from a conservative outlet in its top stories section. The discussion explores how news aggregation apps on mobile devices and browsers like Firefox act as primary "attack vectors" for political propaganda. It is suggested that micro-services architectures, rather than human editors, may be driving this content selection.
