根据媒体研究中心(MRC)开展的研究,苹果新闻(Apple News)持续推送来自左倾新闻机构的内容,并以负面方式呈现关于唐纳德·特朗普总统的信息。
Apple News continues to push content from left-leaning news organizations and frame information about President Donald Trump in a negative light, according to studies conducted by the Media Research Center (MRC).
作为一家保守派媒体监督组织,媒体研究中心此前发现,在对比前首席执行官蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)任期最后一个月与新任首席执行官约翰·特努斯(John Ternus)于9月1日上任后第一个月的内容后,苹果新闻呈现出“明显的左倾转向”。该组织随后监测了10月份的苹果新闻,发现在中期选举前夕,该新闻聚合器继续主要推广左倾媒体。
The MRC, a conservative media watchdog, previously found Apple News took a "decidedly leftist turn" after comparing content during the final month of former CEO Tim Cook’s tenure to the first month after new CEO John Ternus took control on Sept 1. The group then monitored Apple News through October and found the news aggregator continued to largely promote left-leaning outlets in the lead up to midterm elections.
根据媒体研究中心的数据,在10月前27天发布的总计504篇报道中,苹果新闻仅推送了11篇来自右倾媒体的报道。媒体偏见评级网站AllSides认定为左倾的出版物贡献了三分之二以上的报道,占比67.3%,而右倾媒体仅占2%。
Apple News promoted only 11 stories from right-leaning outlets out of a total of 504 published stories through the first 27 days of October, according to the MRC. More than two out of every three stories came from a publication that media bias rating site AllSides considers left-leaning, as 67.3% were from liberal outlets and only 2% came from right-leaning outlets.
研究发现,苹果新闻预装于美国每部iPhone上,其来自左倾媒体的报道比例在特努斯掌舵后的每个月中保持一致,并注意到在他上任第二个月,来自右倾媒体的内容略有增加。
The study found that Apple News, which comes preinstalled on every iPhone in America, was consistent with the percentage of stories from left-leaning outlets in each month since Ternus took control and noticed a slight bump in content from right-leaning outlets in his second month at the helm.

然而,根据媒体研究中心的说法,来自右倾机构的内容中近半数是以负面方式针对特朗普政府或共和党总体进行框架构建的。
However, nearly half of the content from right-leaning organizations was framed negatively against either the Trump administration or Republicans in general, according to the MRC.
媒体研究中心“自由言论美国”项目的丹·施奈德(Dan Schneider)对福克斯新闻数字频道表示:“数月来媒体一直宣称特朗普实际上在为中期选举上票。鉴于苹果新闻在通往选举的10月里仅推送了十一篇来自右倾媒体的报道,且近半数以负面方式针对特朗普构建框架,显然苹果在约翰·特努斯领导下希望选举呈现何种结果。”
"For months the media has been claiming that Trump is on the ballot for the midterm elections. Given that Apple News has run only eleven stories from right-leaning outlets in October leading up to the election and nearly half were framed negatively against Trump, it’s apparent how Apple under John Ternus hopes the election turns out," MRC Free Speech America Dan Schneider told Fox News Digital.
媒体研究中心还审查了与特朗普总统直接相关的苹果新闻报道,发现所有报道均为负面。
The MRC also examined Apple News stories related directly to President Trump and found that all of them were negative.
从10月1日至10月28日,媒体研究中心发现,Apple News推送了96篇标题中带有特朗普名字的报道,其中49篇对总统进行负面描述,没有一篇正面描述,47篇被认为是中立的。
From Oct. 1 through Oct. 28, the MRC found that Apple News promoted 96 stories with Trump’s name in the headline and 49 of them framed the president negatively, while none framed him positively and 47 were considered neutral.
媒体研究中心编辑路易斯·科内利奥在其调查结果中写道:“媒体研究中心发现,Apple News推送了一些将特朗普描述为反犹太主义者、对美国盟友进行非理性欺凌者以及亲俄同情者的标题。其他推送的标题则宣扬其政府遭遇的法律挫折、据称未能控制物价以及其政策引发的愤怒,所有这些都是Apple News左倾倾向的产物。相比之下,Apple News忽略了大量可用的、以正面方式呈现特朗普、其政府及其政策的标题。”
"The MRC found that Apple News has promoted some headlines that characterized Trump as an antisemite, an irrational bully of U.S. allies and a Russian sympathizer," MRC editor Luis Cornelio wrote about his findings. "Other headlines promoted his administration’s legal setbacks, alleged failures to control prices and the outrage its policies have generated, all products of Apple News’s leftist tilt. In contrast, Apple News overlooked numerous available headlines that presented Trump, his administration and their policies in a positive light."
Apple News长期以来一直被指责存在自由派偏见,Fox News Digital今年早些时候报道称,该公司许多高管和董事会成员在多个选举周期中都向民主党人作出了大额捐款。媒体研究中心主席大卫·博泽尔不认为最新的研究会改变这家科技巨头的名声。
Apple News has long been accused of having a liberal bias, and Fox News Digital reported earlier this year that many of the company’s top executives and board members have made substantial contributions to Democrats in various election cycles. MRC President David Bozell doesn’t believe the latest studies will do anything to change the tech behemoth’s reputation. "Ninety-six Trump headlines. Forty-nine negative.
博泽尔对Fox News Digital表示:“96个特朗普标题,49个负面,零个正面。Apple的编辑人工挑选头条新闻,记分牌显示了他们的选择。Apple内部有人对这个‘零’负责。”Apple未立即回应置评请求。
Zero positive. Apple’s editors choose the top stories by hand, and the scoreboard shows what they chose. Somebody at Apple owns the zero," Bozell told Fox News Digital. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
