    It doesn’t matter how many solid gold trophies you give them, the leopards will always demand more.

    Isn’t it designed to promote what the user interacts with and favorites? And it only shows sources that agree to be included. Maybe more right wing rags need to participate but I doubt more that a few Apple News users are maga.

    It’s also not a public broadcast so how does the fcc have jurisdiction?

    Clearly rage bait.

    If Apple News promoted conservative news I would never look at it.
