Yahoo News / Nexstar wire

U.S. lean-left platform distributing center-right local TV wire content

This byline describes content that originated from Nexstar Media Group's internal wire service, published through WWAY (a Morris Multimedia-owned ABC/CBS affiliate in Wilmington, NC), and then aggregated on Yahoo News (owned by private equity firm Apollo Global Management). Yahoo News as a platform consistently skews its article selection toward left-leaning sources — a June 2025 AllSides analysis found 53% of its curated articles came from left-leaning outlets versus 2% from right-leaning ones — while Nexstar's wire service draws from local TV news operations that tend toward center or center-right. The combination means local, often politically neutral wire reporting is filtered through a left-leaning aggregation layer.

Owned byDistribution platform Yahoo News is owned by Yahoo Inc. (approximately 90% Apollo Global Management, 10% Verizon Communications). Wire service content comes from Nexstar Media Group (publicly traded, Nasdaq: NXST), America's largest local TV broadcaster. The originating station WWAY (Wilmington, NC) is owned by Morris Multimedia, a privately held media company headquartered in Savannah, GA.
