Show Notes
Apple News is preloaded on every iPhone in America. You didn’t download it. You didn’t ask for it. And for 100 consecutive days, it didn’t show you a single story from a right-leaning outlet.
When that number went public, Apple’s fix was to add eight conservative articles out of 570. They called that progress.
But here’s what most people missed: the bias isn’t the trap. Apple built this whole system and told you the bias was the solution — responsible humans instead of chaotic algorithms. What they didn’t tell you was that those humans came almost entirely from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and New York Magazine. The editorial monoculture wasn’t a bug. It was the architecture.
This week on Trap Check, we break down what Apple News actually is, why your settings don’t do what you think they do, what the data really shows — and why the government’s response to all of this is its own trap.
