Hi everybody, it's Cheryl Ackison.

Welcome to another edition of the Cheryl Ackison podcast.

Today, Dan Schneider of the Media Research Center says the four big news apps, Google, Apple, Yahoo, and MSN are feeding liberal news bias to the masses unchecked.

The Media Research Center's digital news tracker documents the news content of the Big Four News apps, that's Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Apple.

It found an overwhelming bias in all four apps toward promoting

left-wing news, not just a minor tilt, according to the Media Research Center, but systemic suppression.

For example, Google News skewed its coverage by promoting left-leaning outlets

70.3% of the time, while limiting right-leaning

stories to just 1.3%, resulting in a ratio of 52 left-leaning stories for every one right-leaning

story. The bias is consequential, argues the Media Research Center, because, for example, in the month

of December alone, Google News had 93 million visits.

This is the 10th most visited site in the country.

So now here is the Media Research Center's Dan Schneider to talk about his research and

the impact of what the group found.

MRC was founded almost 40 years ago to educate the American public about media bias.

At that point, it was mostly ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS.

And then in recent years, we've expanded that to include social media and big tech

companies because they are now taking over that entire media space. So we are fighting, we educate the

public about the bias and where appropriate, we fight against it. Let me give a little shout out before we get to the subject at hand to the MRC,

because I don't think I've ever told anybody there this.

I've never communicated with you guys.

But I used to read these notes you would put out about bias when I was working at CBS News
