Do You Trust the Associated Press (AP)?
Here’s The Scoop
In a recent display of media bias, the Associated Press (AP) faced backlash over a controversial headline regarding Claudine Gay’s resignation as Harvard president. The original headline, “Harvard president’s resignation highlights new conservative weapon against colleges: plagiarism,” was met with widespread criticism, leading the AP to revise it.
The revised headline, “Plagiarism charges downed Harvard’s president. A conservative attack helped to fan the outrage,” still insinuates that conservatives used the plagiarism scandal as a tool against higher education institutions. This narrative shift from the AP has raised questions about its credibility and journalistic integrity.
Despite the changes, the AP’s initial post, which still carried the original headline, drew significant negative attention. The post was ‘ratioed,’ with comments far exceeding likes, and received community notes calling out the AP’s biased framing.
Prominent figures such as Elon Musk, CEO of X, and the Redheaded Libertarian, among others, expressed their disdain for the AP’s original headline. The widespread backlash has led to a growing distrust in the AP, with many questioning its commitment to unbiased reporting.

I agree. AP is the front line for left reporting, the Democrats push their lies, misinformation, and propaganda to the AP then send it to the MSM.
Has anyone noticed that they all report the same”news” verbatim

If one ever bothers to look at the main stream media’s Condemnation of some conservative event, they all report the same exact thing almost word for word, most of it coming from the AP. None of them will actually do any honest journalism themselves. The narrative is almost always liberal/progressive making any kind of conservative thought to be undesirable, racist, homophobic, or in keeping with patriarchy.

It is not really the AP, but the ones who work for the organization. Their willful ignorance with its attendant illusion of superiority can only lead to self styled perfection.

It’s almost as if there was one Supreme Leader who instructs the MSM what to say! Who could it be? Satan, perhaps? Or Obama? Same thing I spose.
