Let's be more savvy than that. This is a conservative opinion piece carried by the Hill.

Perhaps but I look at them much like Yahoo which will throw a bone here and there.

I don’t trust any of them anymore.

Journalists generally go to Columbia, Brown, or Missouri (of all places!)

No. In the 60s and70s the AP Stylebook was the gold standard for correct and unbiased news writing.

All of them are liberal fascist institutions of indoctrination with very few exceptions.

Hillsdale College.

I would not pay for my kids to go anywhere else.Even the military academys are defiled.

See and that’s what surprises me after several others things they posted (maybe Nikki Haley stuff?) I’d have to look back.

Yes, you're absolutely right, the Hill leans left and runs a lot of garbage. But they do occasionally publish conservatives, so it's important to look at the byline. Meanwhile, Beckett Adams is a really good one to follow.

The media were radicalized in the early 20th century during the progressive era. This includes the Associated Press.

https://librivox.org/public-opinion-by-walter-lippmann/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_American_Newspaper

The use of stereotypes to persuade readers(and later listeners and viewers)of a specific narrative while putting on a mask of “objectivity” was developed during this era.

There isn’t a work day that goes by without her commenting on the absolute crap writing in news these days.

Grammar errors on top of a total inability to use "who, what, when, and where" in an inverted pyramid, so readers do not need to wander through a forest of unrelated background to get the story?

Communism Methodology for Dummies:

1) Identify established civic groups, companies, parties, trade organizations, etc., especially those with good past reputations.
2) Infilitrate.
3) Take over leadership roles.
4) Drive out active opponents, leaving just the passive elements.
5) Exploit the past reputation of the entity while most of the public is unaware of the takeover.
6) Use the platform to advocate for communist policies and perspectives, and to create rules, lobby for political influence using the org’s resources, etc., as if the leadership had real support from a vast membership.
7) When/if the public catches on, abandon the hollowed out shell; move on to destroy others.

For an example, see National Association of PTAs. Not sure the name, but the school librarians group

Thomas worked for the United Press and post-1958 successor United Press International (UPI) for 57 years, first as a correspondent, and later as White House bureau manager.

She then served as a columnist for Hearst Newspapers from 2000 to 2010, writing on national affairs and the White House.

Yet here is how the Associated Press reported the breaking news...


And more recently, the AP crowed about how Biden took up Congresswoman Greene’s challenge to ‘say her name!’ and neglected to inform readers that he actually called Laken Riley, Lincoln Riley.

I read the article, which presents many examples of AP leftness.

What I was hoping to see was the answer to the headline: WHO radicalized the Associated Press?

It would seem that a journalist could research and reveal the names of those who took over management, hired like-minded reporters and editors, when this happened, how the evolution of news in the internet age added in, etc. There is an important story in that; whereas, we already know the AP is just another DNC spin machine. Perhaps Becket Adams will write it as a follow-up.

(Please be assured that my criticism of the article is not a criticism of your work posting material on FR, which I greatly appreciate.)
