Not news to anyone here, except maybe that newbie over there in the corner . . .
. . . Just 1% of Google News articles in non-customizable sections of Google News come from outlets that rank as right-leaning, according to a bombshell study by AllSides, a nonpartisan group that classifies news outlets according to their political leanings.
That’s compared to 73% from outlets deemed left leaning, according to the audit of major news aggregators that curate articles from around the internet.
Google News’ left-wing news bias is even worse than Apple News, whose in-house editorial team curated just 2% of its articles from right-leaning outlets, compared to 50% from the left, according to the study. AllSides focused on sections of the Apple News app that can’t be personalized by users.
Microsoft’s Bing News exhibited a similar editorial slant, drawing just 5% of its articles from conservative media outlets and 72% coming from left-leaning outlets. Yahoo News drew just 2% from the right and 53% from the left.
By failing to provide a balanced newsfeed to their users, the aggregators are effectively “prevent[ing] Americans from considering multiple views and thinking independently,” according to Julie Mastrine, the director of AllSides’ media bias rating system.
“The impact of one-sided media on our society is both sinister and immeasurable, as these aggregators enjoy massive reach, in the tens of millions of users,” Mastrine told The Post.

Did it really take a study to figure that out? 🤣
No, but the study continues the Great Awakening for the millions who hadn't yet noticed.
And gets the public just that much more ready for the serious take-downs to come of media companies and honchos.
All part of the plan, I believe.
You're right. I wasn't thinking from the point of view of a normie, still existing fully within the MSM bubble. What's obvious lies to us, is truth to them. Let's hope this study will push some on the edge to wake up and see the light.
No.
