Woe, Canada: Liberals Brainstorm Spiffy Plan to Beef Up Currently Pathetic Military

As eyes worldwide were turning to Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics, Apple News editors pushed stories on immigration — including ICE and the Department of Homeland Security — relying on leftist and center outlets while excluding right-leaning media altogether.  Over the first two weeks of February 2026, Apple News ran 57 headlines, all from leftist or center news outlets, about immigration, ICE and the threat to DHS funding. Apple News’s ICE, DHS and immigration coverage accounted for 20 percent of the total headlines that Apple ran in its daily morning top 20 news stories. Not a single story about this highly partisan topic came from a right-leaning outlet as determined by AllSides media bias ratings.  Apple News relied the most on the following elitist media outlets to push a leftist narrative on immigration during the period analyzed: The Associated Press - 10 The Washington Post - 8 NBC News - 5 Apple - 4 National Public Radio (NPR) - 3 The Wall Street Journal - 3  Examples of biased headlines highlighted by Apple News include: “Hard hats and dummy plates: Reports of ICE ruses add to fears in Minnesota;” “Migrants languish in US detention centers facing dire conditions and prolonged waits” from the Associated Press and “‘A profound sense of being hunted’: with all eyes on Minneapolis, ICE arrests continue quietly across the US” from The Guardian. Apple News’s coverage of the immigration topic nearly doubled its Olympics coverage over the first two weeks of February, though the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, began during the same time period and is held only once every four years. Apple News pushed just under 12% of its total daily top 20 morning headlines on the Olympics.  And to make matters worse, Apple News did not use a single right-leaning outlet in its Olympics coverage either. Instead, it offered politically-charged headlines from elitist media outlets such as: “Climate change is making the Winter Olympics harder to host” from The Washington Post; “Team USA, Vance Booed in Frosty Reception at Italy’s Winter Olympics” from The Wall Street Journal and “US skater Amber Glenn faces fallout over politics and issues with music copyright after Olympic gold” from The Associated Press.  The findings for the first two weeks of February 2026 continue to demonstrate that Apple News editors consistently suppress the right-leaning media perspective on controversial topics instead of providing balance. Given the tumultuous nature of events surrounding the immigration situation, it is even more important for the Big Four News Apps (Apple News, Google News, MSN and Yahoo News) to provide balance. According to a report from the Reuters Institute, “engagement with traditional media sources such as TV, print, and news websites continues to fall, while dependence on social media, video platforms, and online aggregators grows,” particularly in the United States. Indeed, according to Pew Research Center, 86% of Americans turn to their digital devices for news “at least sometimes.” With Apple News coming preinstalled on every iPhone and Google News being standard on Android devices, 99.74% of U.S. smartphone users are exposed to at least one of the Big Four News Apps by default. Methodology: During the time period Feb. 1 - 14, 2026, MRC researchers examined the top 20 stories featured on Apple News each day at approximately 8:30 AM ET. MRC researchers used the AllSides media bias ratings, which categorize an outlet as “left,” “lean left,” “center,” “lean right” or “right” to determine the overall bias presented by Apple News and analyzed the results. MRC researchers analyzed the headlines of each story to determine the total number of headlines that focused on immigration, and the total number of headlines that focused on the 2026 Winter Olympics. (Immigration stories analyzed included headlines focused on ICE, DHS, the DHS government shutdown and immigration generally.)

The latest musical release from U2 laments the death of Renee Good, the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protester who was shot and killed by a federal agent after she swerved her car into him in Minneapolis last month.The popular group has not released new music since 2017, and lead singer, Bono, said the surprise release of the songs on the EP was necessary to capture the moment.'They are songs of defiance and dismay, of lamentation.' "These songs were impatient to be out in the world," the singer said. "They are songs of defiance and dismay, of lamentation. Songs of celebration will follow, we're working on those now."The lyrics of "American Obituary" condemn the shooting that was captured on video and left Good dead."Renee Good, born to die free. American mother of three. Seventh day, January. A bullet for each child, you see," Bono sings."The color of her eye. 930 Minneapolis. To desecrate domestic bliss. Three bullets blast, three babies kissed. Renee the domestic terrorist?" he continues.The chorus sings, "America will rise against the people of the lie."The other songs on the EP address the Russian war against Ukraine, the Israeli-Gaza conflict, and the lethal crackdowns on protesters by the Iranian regime. One track that features a guest performance by Ed Sheeran will be released with a documentary recognizing the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.Bono says the future full album release will have more songs with a "joyful tone."RELATED: Shocking cellphone video of Minneapolis shooting from ICE agent's perspective released Bono has used his platform to support philanthropic efforts and has reluctantly admitted that the best way to help impoverished communities is to bring jobs by way of expanding capitalism."I ended up as an activist in a very different place from where I started. I thought that if we just redistributed resources, then we could solve every problem. I now know that’s not true," he said in an interview in 2022. Like Blaze News?

While Texas politicians are adamant about banning Sharia law in Texas, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales points out that it’s actually not necessary — because Islamic practices are already illegal in America.“Sharia is already against the law. The way that they govern is already against the law. Islamic law is not the U.S. Constitution. Islamic law is not Texas law. That’s very obvious. You’re not allowed to amputate someone’s hand for stealing,” Gonzales explains.“Can’t stone a woman to death because she was unfaithful. They can do that there. You can’t do that over here. You can’t throw someone off a building because they’re gay. They do that over there. Not so much over here. You’re not allowed to kill Christians because you think they’re infidels. Like, that’s why Islam isn't compatible with our country,” she continues.And Gonzales has made it her “personal goal” to do “whatever is necessary to make the state of Texas the most unfriendly, unwelcoming state to Islam, because it is not here to be friendly or welcoming to us.”What she actually believes would be “key to stopping the Islamic takeover” is halal meat.“So in the Quran, you have halal and haram. … Halal means, basically, allowed, permissible. So halal is allowed. Haram is not allowed. Okay? So one’s good, one’s bad,” Gonzales explains.“And generally, Muslims are only supposed to eat halal food and halal-certified meat,” she continues, noting that pork is one meat considered “haram.”“And it can only be certified halal if the slaughterer, who has to be Muslim, if the slaughterer participates in this Islamic prayer ritual while he slits the throat of the animal, and it has to hit arteries, and it’s this whole big thing that they have to let the animal bleed out entirely,” she says.“Now, the thing is, is that animals in this country have to be stunned before slaughter. So they do this so that the animal can’t feel the pain. It’s supposed to be more humane — except there’s a religious exemption, obviously for Muslims or any other religion who want to take that up,” she continues.“That is why I’m asking Republicans: If you are serious about stopping the Islamic invasion, ban halal meat. Just do it. Ban it,” she adds.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
