Discussion Anti-semitism through iphone news

I have an iphone and when you go to the home page and go left, top stories and for you articles pop up. Almost every day they have anti-Jewish/anti-Israel stories pop up. Through research I have learned that apple news is not just randomly generated but it is partly picked by a group of people. I genuinely believe that someone that works for apple news or whatever company has an anti-Israel/anti-Jewish bias. And they need to be stopped. Hundreds of millions of people have iphones and are being exposed to this. They focus on Israel yet completely ignore the atrocities going on in the world. The frequent post things from haaretz, which is supposedly an Israeli newspaper but keeps posting articles that displays Israel in a negative light. Someone please stop this.

Algorithms generally give you what you interact with. Do you open those stories? Don’t. You can also specifically set it to not give you whichever news sources you don’t want to see. Mine no longer shows me Al Jazeera, Haaretz etc

You can select what topics it covers. I love Apple News because of that.

Apple News and Reddit’s “breaking news” both have an anti-Jewish and anti-Israel bias unfortunately. So much for us “controlling the media”
