2018-10-30 18:20:27 UTC  

Mob boss. Spent 16 years running from the law. Real bad hombre.

2018-10-30 18:20:58 UTC  

Fair enough, but what about that nickname?

2018-10-30 18:21:18 UTC  

He had white hair?

2018-10-30 18:21:32 UTC  

Damn, I was hoping for something more exciting

2018-10-30 18:21:38 UTC  

Whitey's dead and not a tear was shed...

They have to discredit him before he releases the probe results that say orange man is not bad.

Surprisingly low for Chicago standards.

This is "James Damore 2.0" guy from apple

2018-10-30 19:46:59 UTC  

well, supposedly. I doubt everything about a twitter account with 4 posts and a reddit acount with 3

2018-10-30 19:47:00 UTC  

Proof will be needed

2018-10-30 19:47:41 UTC  

Proof of identity

I have just updated to MacOS Mojave, which added a news app.

When adding new topics, these are the top sources that come up.


Is Apple joining the freight of big tech companies trying to steer public opinion and advocate specific news outlets?

I see Fox News in there, but if those were the only news outlets one would consume, it would be a very skewed view of current events.

When I search for "Breitbart" in the new app, I get Breitbart as a news source, but all the stories suggested to me appear to be slamming "right wing news outlets".

Apple hasn't really been in the news about trying to filter news and opinions as much as other tech giants. I wonder if they will add their weight to the other big companies that seem to be abusing their influence to steer political opinion.

2018-10-30 20:10:00 UTC  

Also, when searching for alternative news outlets, I get stories on feminism and breastfeeding instead.

Conservative Lifesite is facing attempts to take them out:

2018-10-30 21:18:29 UTC  

Not to point out the obvious, but that really isn't trying to steer public opinion so much as it is trying to get rid of outlets that blatently print out false pieces of information

2018-10-30 21:43:47 UTC  

any news aggregate that lists Breitbart would be making itself look silly

2018-10-30 22:22:45 UTC  

Oh, please, let the next generation read about the Danish-Iranian War.

2018-10-30 22:27:46 UTC  

Not a popular narrative as it could been seen as support for Trump lead sanctions on Iran

2018-10-30 22:36:48 UTC  

Isn't Canada currently in poor relations with some middle eastern country over something trudeau did?
