Leftist News Aggregators Dominate U.S. News

pgnewser October 23, 2026 0

58% of Americans are getting their “news” from far-left news aggregators that block non-progressive media from being seen. These four far-left news aggregators are run by progressive-controlled corporations aligned with the Democratic Party. The four aggregators are Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft’s MSM.

A new study from a conservative media watchdog group has found that nearly 60 percent of Americans get their news from at least one of the Big Four news aggregators: Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News and Microsoft’s MSN.

Just the News reports that, according to MRC’s tracking and research data, these four applications sit on nearly every smartphone in America and serve as a dominant news window for an estimated 58 percent of Americans.

According to the MRC’s special report, released earlier this month, all four aggregators exhibit a heavy left-wing bias by overwhelmingly surfacing mainstream and left-leaning publications while filtering out conservative outlets.

EXCERPT:

Elon Musk has restored Ukraine’s internet access, Donald Trump has said.

The US president was speaking hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said connectivity, which is provided by Musk’s satellite-based Starlink system, had yet to be fully restored.

Musk has previously denied he was behind the slowdown, which affects Ukraine’s ability to use drones to attack Russia.

Trump refused to be drawn on a report he had put pressure on Musk to restore access to the service, but when asked about it said: “Bottom line, he put it back.”

The Trump administration has previously insisted it did not instruct Musk’s company to restrict access.

The connectivity restrictions came as Trump put pressure on Zelensky to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, which he has argued have caused prices to rise.

Faced with midterm elections next month, Trump has waived some sanctions on Russia and agreed a deal to import Russian diesel for the US market – a move which has been criticised by Ukraine and its European allies.

Ukraine relies on Starlink – owned by Musk’s SpaceX company – for a range of battle communications and early warning systems during Russian missile attacks.

Earlier on Thursday, Zelensky said the speed of the system used by Ukraine’s military had still not been restored fully.

Speaking at a press conference , he said the speed “has not been restored to 400 [km/h; 250mph] yet”, adding: “We are working on it.”

He continued: “I am waiting to hear from US Secretary of State [Marco] Rubio. He promised to get back to me with information within 48 hours or so.”

“But the good news in all this is Helen is alive and she’s stable. That is the most important thing for our family.”

FIRST ON FOX: Some 50 radical Antifa cells in a wider network of nearly 300 groups are mobilizing to ensure this weekend’s demonstrations in France devolve into chaos and mayhem, Fox News Digital has learned.

Self-described Antifa groups are working with a sprawling network of communist, socialist, far-left and anti-Israel groups to mobilize on two fronts this weekend: an “anti-fascist village” against conservative leader Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in the city of Orléans and nationwide protests called Acte II to replicate last week’s violent riots.

A Fox News Digital investigation has mapped 287 groups in France’s expanding protest ecosystem, including 50 explicitly Antifa organizations, 27 explicitly communist, socialist, Trotskyist or revolutionary-left organizations, 24 labor unions and an expanding coalition of far-left anti-Israel, migrant-rights, environmental, feminist, transgender and other activist organizations. The demonstrations, which claim to be about youth education, include just 27 student and youth organizations.

The coordination comes amid a wider transnational campaign of mayhem organized by communist, socialist and leftist groups in Greece, Italy, Spain, India and elsewhere.

Fox News Digital has compiled a running who’s who of organizations in what has been dubbed “Chaos Inc.” and will keep updating the directory.

The size of the mobilization represents a huge expansion from the original 54 organizations identified in last weekend’s riots. The number of Acte II actions has also increased to 649 planned protests, as of early Friday morning in Paris, including at 21 train stations, three ports, two oil depots and one refinery.

The blockbuster news broke Thursday morning and is lighting up social media because Lucas, 82, is one of the most powerful Democrats in Virginia, serving as president pro tempore of the state Senate and chair of the powerful Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee.

As RedState readers know, she was also the mastermind behind the push earlier this year by Virginia Democrats to gerrymander the commonwealth’s congressional map from the current 6D-5R split to a potential 10D-1R advantage for Democrats. That effort met its demise in the courts, but Lucas gleefully promoted the effort and raised money off her “Ten F—in’ One” merchandise.

A teenager plotted to assassinate a Republican congressman from Texas on behalf of ISIS, according to federal agents.

A local ABC affiliate reported on Wednesday that the FBI had arrested a 17-year-old resident of McKinney for planning to kill Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, at an event earlier this month. The Texas congressman is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and co-founder of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, which seeks to bring “attention to concerns surrounding Sharia [law] and its incompatibility with the principles enshrined in the United States Constitution.”

Federal law enforcement sources who purportedly spoke with the outlet said the suspect was detained on Oct. 5 “after acquiring a firearm.” They further disclosed that the individual “had been radicalized recently and was being monitored by federal agents.”

“I am grateful to the FBI and law enforcement for stopping this threat. My family and I are safe, and I remain focused on serving the people of Texas’ 3rd District,” Self wrote in a Wednesday X post responding to the news. “Preserving our constitutional republic from radical Islam means accepting the costs that come with it — name-calling, threats, and worse.”

Self told CBS News Texas that law enforcement notified him of the attempt on his life after they had the suspect in custody. The Texas Republican “said law enforcement informed him that the McKinney teenager had planned to make waves, ‘perhaps try to shoot at me,’ and carry out a terrorist attack,” according to the outlet.

The legal documents surrounding her immigration lay bare what the legacy press spent years scrubbing and refusing to cover.

New York Post: Prosecutors referred to the Minnesota Democrat as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” in a Wednesday filing in DC federal court, which officials and legal experts said was indicative of the evidence compiled so far in an immigration fraud investigation into the “Squad” rep (New York Post).

Long-rumored as well is the allegation that Ilhan married her brother. The man she married in 2009 was Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Yes: the same last name as Ilhan.

 The “real” name of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been revealed in a federal court filing with an identical surname to that of her ex-husband — and rumored brother, The Post has learned.

Prosecutors referred to the Minnesota Democrat as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” in a Wednesday filing in DC federal court, which officials and legal experts said was indicative of the evidence compiled so far in an immigration fraud investigation into the “Squad” rep.

A source familiar with the investigation confirmed that Omar is not the congresswoman’s “real” last name, meaning she was born with the last name of Elmi, just like her alleged brother-husband. It’s unclear what charges could result from her purported use of an alias, which was first reported by Fox News.

EXCERPT:

Seven oil tankers caught fire or were damaged in the Strait of Hormuz overnight after being hit by Iran or striking naval mines, Tehran said Thursday, a markedly high number as tensions rise over concerns about a return to all-out war.

With days before a close election in Israel in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could lose power, and before next month’s U.S. midterm election in which war-linked high prices have sparked voter anger, there are concerns that U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran could resume.

“Netanyahu wants to attack Iran, that’s not even a question,” Danny Citrinowicz, a researcher at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies and a former Iran specialist in Israel’s military and intelligence services, told The Associated Press.

He accused Israel of rushing into another round with Iran without revamping its strategy. A clear Netanyahu victory in the Oct. 27 election means an attack is almost guaranteed, he said.

Main opposition candidates are likely to focus on domestic issues first, but Citrinowicz said he believed the region is on the way toward “another kinetic escalation.”

The DSA Plans To Incite Violence Ahead Of 2028 Election– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Over on X, DataRepublican’s reporting on documents and recordings from the Democratic Socialists of America and allied networks lays out a calculated strategy for the run-up to the 2028 elections. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.

Groups including the United Democracy Alliance, invoking Erica Chenoweth’s 3.5 percent rule, appear ready to coordinate the street actions, legal support, and media framing. Neville Roy Singham, operating from Shanghai and connected to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, is positioned to amplify the disruption from abroad.

The plan assumes Trump will choose immediate order over patience, and hand his opponents the optics they have prepared. Whether that assumption holds depends on the costs of each path.

Policing power in America is overwhelmingly local. The FBI fields about 13,700 special agents nationwide. The New York Police Department alone has more than 34,700 sworn officers. A president can protect federal property, personnel, and functions without becoming the default response for every city whose leaders have weakened policing and tolerated disorder. Broader federal action is also available. Both options carry consequences, and progressive networks are organized to contest either one.

EXCERPT:

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government is cracking down on violent rioters and making parents pay when their children participate in leftist violence.

The move follows riots that left businesses looted, police officers injured, and streets damaged across several cities.

Parents of minors who commit violence at demonstrations face fines of €500 to €1,000, doubled for repeat offenses.

The penalties apply even when a child is too young to face prosecution.

Meloni said parents should pay when their children cause damage and called on political parties to stand with legality.

Prison Sentences for Rioters and Violent Organizers

The new crime targets anyone who uses sticks or clubs, or throws objects during a demonstration in a way that endangers others.

Offenders face two to five years in prison and fines of up to €20,000.

Higher penalties apply when rioters conceal their faces or damage public infrastructure or utilities.

Anyone organizing or promoting groups for violent demonstrations, including through online tools, faces four to 12 years behind bars.

The decree also allows police chiefs to bar groups of five or more minors from gathering where they behave in an intimidating manner.

Liechtenstein’s Hereditary Prince Alois has vetoed a Bill, which narrowly passed earlier this year, that would have removed legal protections for unborn babies, and permitted abortion on demand, for any reason, up until the end of the third month of pregnancy, instead calling for more support for women and their babies “before, during and after pregnancy”.

The Prince’s calls for further support for women follow years of work that his family have undertaken to support pregnant women and their families through the Sophie von Liechtenstein Foundation, which was founded by the Prince’s wife, Hereditary Princess Sophie von und zu Liechtenstein.

Hereditary Prince Alois von und zu Liechtenstein has, under the constitution of Liechtenstein and confirmed by a popular referendum in 2003, the authority to veto such legislation.

Unborn babies currently have some of the strongest legal protections in Europe under the principality’s law. The law prohibits the provision of abortion except in limited circumstances, including where it is necessary to avert an otherwise unavoidable serious danger to the mother’s life.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that “dozens of oil tankers holding millions of barrels of crude” floating in Asian waters have “dried up.”

The revelation comes a day after the WSJ confirmed that energy shipments from the region crossed the pre-war mark. “Persian Gulf oil exports have surpassed prewar levels, as an improvised shipping system under U.S. protection is helping tankers move oil through one of Iran’s fiercest waves of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz,” the business daily reported Tuesday.

Germany’s federal states are proposing that social media platforms reserve at least 20 percent of algorithmic recommendations for content from a pool of approved media outlets deemed important for opinion diversity, according to a draft under public consultation. The proposed measure is already being slammed as a state-mandated propaganda effort that would force German citizens to view content friendly to the ruling establishment parties.

The measure is part of the second stage of a planned Digital Media State Treaty developed by the Broadcasting Commission of the Federal States. Under the draft, public broadcasters such as ARD, ZDF and Deutschland Radio would automatically qualify for certain offerings.

Meanwhile, private outlets would generally need to apply and demonstrate that they meet criteria including news and political reporting, information and educational content, documentaries, local or regional coverage, original journalistic production, editorial staffing and accessibility standards. Approvals would be decided by the 14 state media authorities.

In other words, the state wants to control what people are seeing in their feeds.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused French President Emmanuel Macron of “welcom[ing] atrocities against Iranians” and mockingly called for the French government to “listen” to hordes of violent rioters in a social media post on Sunday, responding to Macron blaming the war between Iran and America for the riots.

France endured a chaotic weekend in which tens of thousands of people, who local politicians have identified as a variety of leftist and Islamist extremists, engaged in a wave of vandalism and destruction throughout the nation’s largest cities, burning down several major historical sites, most prominently the Limoges City Hall. Macron delivered a national address on Sunday in which he discouraged further violence and blamed the war that began between America and Iran in February for the high cost of living in the country, which he claimed was fueling unrest in the country.

Voters are angry about the cost of living, and they have every right to be. With Republicans in full control of Washington, they expect a fast reversal of the Biden years.

But voters’ anger should not be mistaken for amnesia. Americans clearly remember who started the affordability fire burning through families’ wallets.

My new League of American Workers poll of likely Arizona voters, conducted earlier this month, captures the mood. A 44% plurality of voters say their personal finances got worse over the past year, while just 17% say they improved. Among independents, it’s 48% worse versus 16% better.

Yet here is the key caveat the corporate media keeps missing or deliberately ignoring. Despite their frustrations, only 38% of voters say they would be better off with Kamala Harris as president. Ten percent say it would make no difference and 44% believe they would be worse off with a Kamala Harris in the Oval Office. Moreover, Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, sit at a dismal 34% approval against 64% disapproval.

The Biden-Harris record was truly awful, which is why Democrats are counting on short memories at the ballot box this Nov. 3.

PARIS: British and French jets flew together over the Mediterranean in their first joint exercise involving France’s airborne nuclear capability, Paris said on Friday (Oct 23), underscoring their cooperation at a time of friction with Russia.

The two allies agreed in July 2025 to reinforce cooperation over their nuclear arsenals in response to growing threats to Europe and uncertainty over their US ally.

“Having independent nuclear forces does not preclude coordination,” said French Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin.

“Our nuclear cooperation with the United Kingdom continues to deepen: on Tuesday evening, British Typhoons took part for the very first time in a French nuclear exercise alongside Rafales (warplanes).”

After taking off from the Saint-Dizier air base in northeastern France, the French jets were escorted by British RAF Typhoon fighters, simulating a nuclear strike in an exercise called “Rummy”, France’s Armed Forces ministry said.

“In an increasingly dangerous world, our adversaries should be in no doubt: the United Kingdom and France stand together in their commitment to European security and to maintaining the deterrence that has helped preserve peace for generations,” added British Defence Secretary Wes Streeting.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has gotten approval from the Pentagon to test out a military heat-ray weapon along the US-Mexico border, according to a memo that was obtained by CNN.

The weapon, formally called the Active Denial System, is nonlethal and fires an unseen beam of electromagnetic energy with a range of just over half a mile.

When the beam hits a person’s skin, it produces an intense burning sensation, similar to when a person opens an oven. The military says this “tingling effect” fades after 10 to 15 minutes, but the weapon also triggers “an instinctive and irresistible urge to run from the effect.”

DHS has not said how the weapon will be used yet. However, current and former Customs and Border Protection officials say the agency has talked internally for years about using it to break up crowds at the southern border, per the report.
