Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell joined Scott Jennings on The Scott Jennings Show Wednesday afternoon to discuss how Apple News and Google News suppressed negative stories about Graham Platner, former Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maine. MRC reviewed the top twenty morning headlines on Apple News and Google News every day from November 1, 2025, to May 30, 2026, and found that neither news app posted a single story about Platner’s numerous personal scandals. No stories about his Nazi tattoo, his abusive track record with women, his past racist comments, or his controversial Reddit posts. Nothing. Zero. As Bozell stated: “There was nothing about this man and this man’s candidacy that could be considered even remotely negative or concerning if you were a viewer of Apple News and Google News… It was a total blockade.”Apple and Google News showed 0 negative stories about Graham Platner for months — nothing about the Nazi tattoo, the Reddit posts, the racism from his keyboard, his abuse towards women. It was a total blockade. @DavidBozell @ScottJenningsKY @JenningsShow pic.twitter.com/PmmQiu8ScC— Media Research Center (@theMRC) July 15, 2026Bozell concluded with his predictions on how Apple News and Google News might continue to game the system and use their monopoly over smartphone news apps to influence elections. Bozell recommended: “Understand that rapid response is the name of the game. You’ve got to get your message out quickly. You cannot give the Left a free day.”.@DavidBozell predicts what’s next for Apple and Google News as the 2028 elections approach, and how conservatives can shift their strategy to fish where the fish are@ScottJenningsKY @JenningsShow pic.twitter.com/39xIaj6uHB— Media Research Center (@theMRC) July 15, 2026 Watch the full segment here:
