Well, maybe if AP allowed their articles to be posted at FR I’d give a rip.

I would not mind donating. I wonder if they have change for a penny to match their value to me.

They should move their Headquarters to Canada, where the ‘licensed’ propaganda outlets are sponsored by the Turdeau Regime.

AP is a content provider and has been since 1846. In all that time they had to ability to control the “news”. If they did not report it, it did not happen. Further they had the power to influence the way people perceived the news just by the words used in reporting it.

The problem for AP is that their market for their content is drying up. Newspapers are dying. Amateurs with a cell phone can report a story almost if not as it is happening. They need a new business model to survive.

AP: All Propaganda.

The AP has no news to offer.

Why, oh why can’t it be the Boston Globe, ransomed out of bankruptcy by Red Sox owner John Henry?

Henry purchased the Globe from the New York Times for about $30 million dollars, more than a billion less than they paid for it about ten years before. He agreed to keep the money loser alive, for the time being.

The first thing he did was sell the Globe building in downtown Boston for more than $30 million, and move all the editorial staff out to strip malls in suburbs. The wailing and the gnashing of teeth among the staff was shadenliscious.

Agitation and Propaganda owes me millions of dollars of reparations for decades of lies and anti-white hate.

The Hartford Courant had an equally hilarious story.

The oldest continuously published newspaper in the country which eventually morphed into a leftwing propaganda organ had to abandon the state of CT and the city of Hartford and move its operations to MA.

Flush hard when you donate.

As I'm currently suffering from some digestive issues, I would be happy to match several FReepers' donations to the AP...

“Iโ€™ve noticed a HUGE uptick in web sites requesting donations or putting up paywalls in the past few months. Have you seen that, too?”

Everybody from FR to whatever so called news site wants money.

Wikipedia:

In October 2020, the Courant announced that it would be discontinuing printing the paper in Hartford and outsourcing future printing to the Springfield Republican in Massachusetts.[27]

In December 2020, Tribune Publishing announced that it would be closing the Courant’s Broad Street newsroom by the end of the year with no current plans to open another.[28] On its website as of 2023, the Courant lists its mailing address as 100 Pearl Street in Hartford.[29]

All the others tried to generate income via other methods and have largely failed. FR was membership only, no ads, from the beginning, and was always honest about that. That’s a huge difference.
