PBS: Trump’s ‘Gulf of America’ Ban Attacks 'Nonpartisan' AP’s ‘Freedom of the Press’
NewsBusters ^ | February 18th, 2025 | Clay Waters

Tamara Keith: The Associated Press is at the core of the pool -- that is, the group of reporters who have been following the president around wherever the president goes, going back to FDR. And the White House, by going after AP for an editorial choice, is going directly at the First Amendment. It is going directly at the freedom of the press.

And it is not coincidental that they are going after AP. AP is extremely influential. They're also kind of straight down the line. They are not a partisan news outlet in any way.

Since when did Martin Short become a Constitutional expert?

How much did USAID give to Alex Jones?

Trump trolled.

They swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Elite Stream Media is the enemy of the people.

But it’s a huge win if this is the hill they choose to fight and die on.

They have every right to FAFO

As a Democrat propaganda agent that FAFO will probably mean they’ll have trouble getting close to the Oval Office

PURE BS.

No one is stopping AP from reporting anything they want. What Team Trump are doing is not granting the limited access available to hyper partisan proapganda agents pretending to be “journalists”.

Nothing that I can find. Do you have a source saying he got USAID money?

AP has just made the case for us having to use “correct pronouns”. Let them say “Gulf of Mexico” and deadname it all they want, and we’ll use this President to bury DIE deeper.

At first, I thought this was a bad idea.

But now I see your point.

The media landscape is very different today compared to Trump's first term in 2017. Twitter was still under control by the Left.

And we did not have TikTok.

They're looking pathetic and they cannot hide that from the American public.

Autocorrect butchered the entire meaning of that, but you get what I mean.

What BS, AP is just about the most biased MSM of them all.

How is 85% negative coverage of President Trump, compared to 78% favorable for Harris, “straight down the middle” AP?

The AP is anything but non partisan.

Besides, why is the AP owed access to the oval office or Air Force One? There are lots of media organizations that don’t get that.

Curious PBS/AP ect. The accusation by Democrats about “a threat to our democracy” was a transparent lie that anyone who has watched poltics the last 8 years knew to be a lie

How many times did your fact check and correct the Democrat party lies about Trump in your coverage?

After all correcting fraudulent statements by the other side would be “straight down the middle” coverage? How about correcting all the knowing lies Harris and her team put out about her “middle class background?

What that? You NEVER corrected the lying by the Democrats on anything. That not very “straight down the middle by you”
