Media bias is not just a cable news problem anymore — it is in your pocket. Jenny Beth Martin exposes how Apple News delivers more left-leaning content than Google News, MSN, and Yahoo combined, and why millions of Americans do not even realize they are being propagandized every time they open their phones. MRC NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck breaks down a Media Research Center investigation revealing that Apple News — preloaded on every iPhone — served users 434 out of 592 top stories from left-leaning outlets in a single month. He also exposes NPR's stunning failure to quote a single victim from a synagogue terror attack in Michigan, a failure their own public editor admitted publicly. And he breaks down why 93% of broadcast television coverage of ICE operations was negative, deliberately obscuring the serious criminal records of many of those targeted. Then Samantha Flom, Associate Editor at Restoration News, brings a story few outlets are covering: abortion pill pollution. A study by Restoration of America Foundation found that more than one in ten women experience serious, life-threatening side effects from mifepristone — and that the drug's unique metabolites may be contaminating America's water supply. Rep. Mary Miller has introduced the Clean Water for All Life Act to address it. Sen. Josh Hawley has introduced legislation to revoke FDA approval of mifepristone entirely. Plus: the first federal conviction under Melania Trump's Take It Down Act, and a fresh call to action on the SAVE America Act. Learn more at teapartypatriots.org and jennybethshow.com.
