MRC: Big Four News Apps Cover ICE In Minnesota Negative 86-Percent Of Time

The legacy media is at it once again. A new study from the Media Research Center (MRC) found that the big four news apps, that being Google, Apple, Yahoo and MSN, covered ICE in Minnesota negatively or without context 86-percent of the time.

The time period for that analysis begins the day Renee Good was shot by federal agents on January 7th, after she tried running over an ICE officer with her vehicle. The study went through January 21st, three days before the Alex Pretti shooting. The four platforms in that time flooded phones everywhere with negative or uncontextualized headlines about Minneapolis ICE operations.

Luis Cornelio of the MRC says their study revealed the four major outlets pushed headlines in coordination that smeared ICE.

"Out of the 118 stories, just one painted ICE in a positive light," he says.

That one positive story was about local law enforcement being missing while agitators were taking to the streets. Which is not really positive for ICE and comes across more as an attempted indictment on local police.

But the study also found many of the pushed stories lacked critical context or facts. For example, the outlets did not mention mostly that Good, before being shot by ICE, was agitating law enforcement along with her partner.

The problem goes much deeper than just negative coverage of an incident. This has one on a long time. The issue is their reach to millions of people with an ability to push whatever narrative they see fit. Which ultimately can cause influence in things like elections.

"We released a survey in 2020...which analyzed how the big tech censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal impacted the 2020 election," says Cornelio. "Had Americans been aware of the implications exposed by the New York Post in their article...a percentage of them would have switched their vote in key swing states."

Conservative sources were virtually excluded, with just three percent of coverage in that aforementioned timespan being from more right-leaning outlets. The cable news has not been much better, either. A separate MRC study of ABC, CBS, and NBC's major nightly news programs found they delivered 93-percent negative coverage of ICE in Minneapolis.

But again, all of it is as you might expect from the mainstream media. It is also what you would expect from Democrats and the influence they hold at these major companies.

"Big tech companies are curating their news apps to fit one narrative...in this case, they are targeting ICE, and we busted them, we have the evidence," Cornelio says.

It has just become another song and dance people have largely grown tired of seeing from the mainstream media. It is no wonder people have started tuning out.
