FTC Initiates Probe Alleging Apple News Bias
|
6.1
The Federal Trade Commission under Chair Andrew Ferguson opened an inquiry into Apple News alleging the service systematically promoted liberal outlets while suppressing conservative publications, citing a New York Post article and a Media Research Center study that sampled 620 promoted articles and labeled 440 'liberal.' The piece contends the probe misapplies Section 5 of the FTC Act, raises First Amendment concerns, and likely lacks solid legal footing.
