    So biased it’s embarrassing
    I just wanted a basic review of recent events and this is so left wing. You’ll only hear one side the facts
  • akjeff99
    One of my favorites
    This is turned into on of my favorites to listen to in the car or on the treadmill. Team does a great job of digging deeper into the story. Now, can we go 7 days a week please?

    When will news be news and not opinions?
    Apple News is another biased liberal news outlet. When will news channels go back to reporting the news and not the opinions of the Anchors. And I think that goes for both sides. I just want the facts not you trying to sway my views. I don’t want clips out of context to make it seem like your opinion is right. It’s gross. The anchors should be embarrassed. Especially now that they will have to back track on most of what they’ve said through the years.

    Just Garbage
    Biased and garbage. This should be an apolitical update.

    Coffee and Apple News
    Everyday at work or on my way to work I listen to the Apple News podcast. It has become a very important part of my everyday routine. It gives all the important parts of the news in a quick summary. Can’t live without it!!

    Great in the mornings
    I listen to this on my way to work/school every morning. It’s a great mix of news from everything going on. Being able to listen to Shumita narrate in such a great way is always a joy

    The Best Way to Start My Day!
    The stories are always interesting and relevant and the reporting is thoughtful. Thank you!

    Awful
    This is a one sided non-fact checking nightmare.
  • mountenneer
    Could be good, but they can’t help themselves
    I strongly dislike Trump and will not be nor will ever vote for him, but I hate that every time he’s mentioned, they’ll note any lies, while ignoring any “alternative facts” Harris says when she’s mentioned. It’s not helpful and a reminder of why people have frustrations with these news outlets. Trump is silly enough on his own, you don’t need to keep exaggerating it and ignoring your preferred candidates’ issues.

    Far Left News Show
    I normally don’t rate podcasts, but she asked. 1 star as a news source. 5 stars for a far left POV to news stories. So a 2 star overall. I listen to this podcast every morning to give me a far left perspective of the news. Multiple stories on Liz Cheney now supporting democrats, nothing on Tulsi Gabbard now supporting republicans. And this is just one of endless examples. So it’s a good listen every morning, just make sure you balance it out with something right leaning.

    Unbiased and nice collection of daily news.
    I listen to npr new every day. And I find Apple News to be lot more informative. I have been listening to this channel since day 1. A big shout to Shumita Basu. One of the best presenters.
  • Kolos69
    Extremely bias podcast
    Love to hear Shumita presenting the news but if comes to politics it makes me skip the episode each day when they try to turn listeners into kamala lovers.
  • FER Guy
    Good work
    Thank you. I appreciate your daily news summary.
  • myirish17
    1st thing in the morning!
    Love this podcast my 1st listen of the day always!
  • misterboo
    Slick
    It’s professionally produced and sounds great. Editorially it parrots the left leaning corporate media bias that you hear everywhere.
  • adminxvx
    A must!
    Best way to start my day.
  • GrayKeys
    Excellent for top news!
    My go-to morning news, I listen on my daily commute. Stories have a good balance of depth and variety, and Shumita Basu is an excellent host.
  • grayheel
    Excellent
    Excellent show, an essential part of my morning routine
  • Kalnel
    Moderate, informative, and interesting
    This is one of the best news sources I turn to every day.
  • mcg11111111
    Enjoyable, informative, brief
    I enjoy Shumita and Gideon’s voices. Happy it is brief yet informative.
  • mmpnguyen
    Great option for your morning routine
    The show is wonderful. Quick, short stories that cover everything in the news worth noting; from politics, pop culture, sports, and everything in between – all within 10-15 min, perfect for your daily morning routine. Political bias is moderate-left. It’s not egregious and it’s more moderate than left – after listening to the show for a few years now, they are getting more objective overall. That said, politics is so polarizing today that objective coverage of certain stories may seem biased to a biased listener; so be aware of confirmation bias.
  • User12121212
    Straight to the point
    Great morning news round up without being inundated with ads.
  • Neo_Nightmares
    Left leaning bias
    Instead of reporting the news in the center. It constantly criticizes Trump and praises Kamala. Pro abortion news podcasters.
  • Olly Oxenfree
    Bait and Switch to hide left-leaning bias
    Apple News Today provides a mixture of news topics each shared with left-leaning bias. For most of 2024, each episode started with a segment on why you should feel bad for the people in Gaza. Then as the US election neared every episode contained a segment that could be labeled “Why you should vote Democrat”. Worst offense: On multiple occasions the title story will be a short segment at the end while half the show is instead covering whichever left wing topic they want you to hear.

    Best “start of my day” podcast!
    This show does a great job summarizing things I may have missed through other sources of news, and also covers the large impact news stories that I’d expect in a news app. I appreciate the “this is also available in Apple News” because it’s a sign post of other things I may be interested in. I’ve also never found a podcast, radio show, or tv news that so deftly handles hard news stories. The music break following these kinds of topic is the perfect length and when they come back in is measured and calm. Finally, this is the most moderate news I’ve found, and if it leans one way or another it never tries to be sensational or accusatory. To quote dragnet: just the facts. And I love Apple News Today for that.
  • Agent Bubbles 00
    Love it
    Morning routine and getting unbiased news and bring in people to tell you more about what it mean in the news
  • OSIloveyou
    Exceptional News Source
    While I see that a lot of people complain about this being ‘left leaning’, I think people are forgetting that once you give context to news stories with interviews and additional information suddenly it feels like an attack to people who get their news from ACTUAL biased news outlets. This show finds a way to speak about major news stories with appropriate context in a concise and informative way. Shumita Basu is professional and has a soothing voice and I listen every morning!
  • John Rutledge
    Essential part of my morning routine
    I start ever morning by asking my HomePod to play Apple News. I love the quick morning updates on what’s trending in the news.
  • Boneman5721
    Left leaning
    This station leans left and I’m not saying it needs to learn right either. I just wish it would be unbiased with politics.
  • Me987
    Do they favor the Democrats much?
    All I keep hearing in these podcasts are reports on how great Kamala is and how horrible Trump is. How about being a bit more balanced? Noone’s perfect but could you report news and not opinion?
  • bbs_mom
    Trustworthy news
    I enjoy listening to Apple News Today every morning to get a summary of what is happening in the world without the need to fact check.
  • Mcc2888
    Shumita is the best!!
    Shumita is my favorite news podcast host by far! Does her best to not show her own biases unlike the NYT and Sabrina tavernese
  • Mrsketchys Review
    Important Topics
    I love Apple News Today, it’s my daily dose of the most important headlines with experts actually capable of delivering a real summary of the topics being discussed.
  • Borinal
    Love it
    This is the best way to get bite sized daily news on the go!
  • Steve0613j
    Can’t do it
    Totally biased. Everyday it’s a Trump bashing / conservative bashing newscast. Y’all suffer from TDS.
  • someJBK
    Concise News
    I normally don’t like following the news because it’s always sad. I listen to this podcast every weekday morning to have an idea of what’s going on, and I really enjoy it. It’s concise, but informative.
  • Juicybabexx
    heavily political but still educational
    I really enjoy the amount and depth of news they can cover in only ~12 minutes each morning. I wish there was less political content. Might be since we are closer to the election, but a good deal of the podcast each day is dedicated to politics when I am more interested in science-based news. Overall, it’s a great way to stay up to date and i’ll continue to listen!
  • Shotz22
    Good balance
    Very moderate, objective look at the news. Keep it up!!!
  • Fortgang
    Great Daily News Source
    There was a time not that long ago where a daily brief was just called ‘news’ and not up for debate as ‘propaganda’ by a portion of the listening public looking for shock jock, disinformation echo chambers, but here we are. This is a well sourced daily listen for current events, delivered by a warm-voiced, informed host. Great daily listen!
  • Get Felt
    A part of my daily routine
    Very well reported and concise. In less than 20 minutes, it keeps me well informed each day about the news and trends behind them. Top notch reporting, journalism, and programming.
  • maajka
    Great narrative of the news
    I wish I had found this sooner, all the cry baby’s having issues because how dare the news point out facts about their candidate. Keep up the good work, signed, a moderate.
  • beokeone
    Best start to morning
    I’m a daily listener. I’ll always go back if I miss an episode. The coverage is objective, informative, and well-delivered. I worry about folks who see it differently, since it would seem they have a propensity to see the world through the blurred lens of today’s most popular cult in the US.
  • LeahM89
    My favorite way to start my day.
    I love how this podcast is produced. All of the hosts are great and have great inflection and manner of speaking. I missed Shumita while she was on leave! This podcast keeps me informed about a little bit of everything without being overwhelming and pessimistic. It flows nicely from topic to topic (As someone who worked on the ads side of a newspaper and tv station, I appreciate this!). A “must-listen” every morning. Keep it up, crew!
  • City mountain girl
    Good
    I enjoy listening to this in the am while getting ready for the day. Feel it’s a moderate listen
  • Mitsu Reviews
    Incredibly Biased - NOT moderate
    I’ve been listening to this show for the last year and half and used to LOVE IT. But, now that election season has come - I found the show to be incredibly biased towards Kamala Harris’ campaign. The only time Trump is mentioned is when it is in negativity. Sometimes it’s irritating to listen to because the news used to be a platform that reflects both sides of an argument/situation and gives respect to both sides of an argument/situation. I am someone seeking for a middle ground in today’s times. Really upsetting seeing the spiral downwards this show takes when they involve politics. All is said with love. Thanks 🙏🏽
  • Heather6845
    Gross opinion pieces
    Eww, the clear hatred of President Trump shows in this joke of a news podcast. Meanwhile a literal imbecile is praised. The latest podcast was a joke. Let’s put the woman who has done nothing to fix this economy back in for another 4 years so she can run this country into the ground. Oh, and while you’re at it, go ahead and raise taxes! Ha!
  • AtownDown
    Love this show
    I start my morning off everyday with this show. It’s great information and isn’t too long. Awesome content
  • mrsabaker
    Fair and Balanced
    I love that I can listen to this podcast each morning and get a quick—moderate—update on everything from politics to economics. There are often snippets of experts on who offer data and facts. This is reassuring, as many news outlets have moved further and further in the direction of op-eds. The host even offers research-based facts and nuance in instances where their source information seems misleading or unbalanced. That I can respect.
  • Mjsoccer09
    News with opinions
    Nice try… I like hearing news but don’t need extra opinions leading to the “left” It seems if a political story it’s yet another source of the media pushing their “candidate “
