The AP recently carried a story titled, “Gabbard Says Trump and Putin Are ‘Very Good Friends’ Focused On Strengthening Ties.”

Which is still a result of a search:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/gabbard-says-trump-and-putin-are-very-good-friends-focused-on-strengthening-ties/ar-AA1B6QGN

But no one should be a friend of Putin.

I became aware of the AP bias via its editorializing about 20 years ago, when it reported the burning of a liberal children’s book (forgot which) by a church, to which it added that Hitler’s party also burned books....

Their ability to aggregate news is being eclipsed.

I confess that I have NOT read the article...BUT I can tell you that...crazy, not serious, Leftist, Anti American Values, WOMEN ARE COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK AND ...RUINING EVERYTHING THAT AMERICA MEANS...BY HAVING HIGH POSITIONS IN EDUCATION, JOURNALISM, CORPORATIONS...

And causing the deterioration of the excellence in the American Experience.

I admit there are SOME exceptions, but for the most part...

WOMEN HAVE NOT CONTRIBUTED TO THE ADVANCE OF AMERICA/S EXCELLENCE

Just look at the CEOs of PBS, NPR for evidence.

AND, I am not a robot nor a troll.

I am merely a woman who survived when the chances were slim.

Remember when Obama illegally wiretapped the entire AP and they were ok with it? Yeah, that was great.

If WOMEN have been placed in charge of the ASs Press...

No need to look further, they have a way of destroying areas that once were a success.

If no women were involved, I apologize.

Only ignorant or gullible people trust the AP to any significant degree. I’ve been on the planet for over 50 years and they have sucked pretty much that whole time.

The AP still wields a great deal of influence. They feed local news organizations (like the ones in my community) with their "news" on national and international events. So many AP headlines are designed to advance a leftwing agenda, the truth be damned.

I have family members who swallow every word of it. When I tell them what is really happening, it goes in one ear and out the other as if there's nothing in between to stop it.

We were founded as an independent news cooperative whose members are U.S. newspapers and broadcasters

I think many of you are missing the point. As a cooperative, the AP mirrors the bias and attitudes of its membership. Journalists and mud-slingers are overwhelmingly Left in viewpoint, so of course the cooperative would mirror this.

For the last quarter of the twentieth century, "the news" has been saturated with practitioners who are Left and Center Left, with the right-wing population very, very small -- to the point that being a "right wing publication" was a rara avis. This has bled into the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Rush Limbaugh was the leading wedge of "right think" into AM radio; starting from his time in Sacramento, his audience slowly grew to the point that others felt safe enough to join in. Interestingly, the "new media" has a larger fraction of conservative practitioners. Of note: the "new media" is NOT populated by graduates of journalism schools. That's a tell as well.

So to lambaste the Associated Press for reflecting the views of its membership is foolish. The new voices, and new companies, won't join the AP because of its current skew. That means the AP won't move to the right because of new media. Could a new cooperative rise from the Right? Good question.

"Since 1846, we have been breaking news and covering the world’s biggest stories, always committed to the highest standards of accurate, unbiased journalism.

If that was ever true, it's not true now. See Tagline.

"From delivering the news via pony express in 1846..."

False statement right there, the Pony Express only existed for 18 months starting in 1860, it ended in 1861 with the establishment of the transcontinental telegraph.
