      You realize AP News is also a first information provider for the largest news networks like NBC, ABC, CNN, and even Fox?

      Pretty much all of them use AP as the primary source of the latest information because of how definitively accurate and non biased they have been and currently are.

      The Associated Press (AP)[4] is an American not-for-profit news agency headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1846, it operates as a cooperative, unincorporated association, and produces news reports that are distributed to its members, major U.S. daily newspapers and radio and television broadcasters. Since the award was established in 1917, the AP has earned 58 Pulitzer Prizes, including 35 for photography. The AP is also known for its widely used AP Stylebook, its AP polls tracking NCAA sports, and its election polls and results during US elections.

      By 2016, news collected by the AP was published and republished by more than 1,300 newspapers and broadcasters.[5] The AP operates 248 news bureaus in 99 countries, and publishes in English, Spanish, and Arabic.[6] It also operates the AP Radio Network, which provides twice hourly newscasts and daily sportscasts for broadcast and satellite radio and television stations. Many newspapers and broadcasters outside the United States are AP subscribers, paying a fee to use AP material without being contributing members of the cooperative. As part of their cooperative agreement with the AP, most member news organizations grant automatic permission for the AP to distribute their local news reports.

      Honestly you’re kind of hilarious. Like seriously? AP news has an obvious bias against Israel out of all places?

        the only things that prevent it being blatant lie is the argument-weakening words they must use such as “seen as”, “recent” and “experts say”

      What’s the subtext I’m missing?

          Okay thx. The article was straight forward. I looked for editorial. Thought I missed something. But it’s the fucking AP so I didn’t know we were questioning them now to begin with.
