“the outlet” is the Associated Press.
I’ll take what the outlet claims with a huge grain of salt.
Why should I sit in front of the TV and watch cable "news" or read the "news"papers or magazines or Leftist websites to only get the narrative of the agenda they are peddling?
I used to believe that AP stood for the Associated Press. But I have come to believe that it stands for Always Progressive.
Some of what they report may have some truth to it, but it is couched in other fake information that makes it difficult to discern the veracity of those "facts".
It is easier to read various sources from around the web and separate the wheat from the chaff to determine what the real story is.
