The Associated Press has been running wild with leftist climate change propaganda while being paid millions by eco-extremist organizations. And yet AP still has the audacity to pretend it's engaging in objective reporting.

MRC Business analysts found that from Feb. 15, 2022 through Feb. 15, 2023, The Associated Press (AP) pushed climate change alarmism and promoted woke environmental, social, governance (ESG) efforts across 64 climate-related stories after the legacy outlet received an $8 million grant from leftist nonprofit organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation, Quadrivium (the activist organization of News Corp. Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch’s estranged son and climate activist James Murdoch), the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation (Walmart) and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

AP announced Feb. 15, 2022 that it would “significantly expand its climate coverage” with the goal to “infuse” the media landscape with climate journalism backed solely by private interest groups. AP called the new development a “sweeping climate journalism initiative” and claimed in its press release that it would retain “complete editorial control of all content.” AP also claims on its “About Us” page that it is in the business of “unbiased news,” which is little more than a pathetic joke. The so-called “journalism” AP has been doing on climate involves behaving like the de facto mouthpiece for its major left-wing donors who have an obsession with pushing apocalyptic climate narratives on the internet.

The Associated Press has been running wild with leftist climate change propaganda while being paid millions by eco-extremist organizations.

This should be illegal, its one thing to sell advertising but this is pure bribery. There has got to be some law on the books that cover this form of fraud because that is what this is.

At the very least they should have to disclose that they are being paid by eco-extremist organizations when ever they run a related story.

State propaganda official wordsmithing handbook.

Gates gave the media money too. So does Soros.

Everything the Democrats/Marxists do is graft and fraud.

Funny how that works, isn’t it? Take already biased leftist propagandists, toss in millions of dollars, and BAM!

Just shortly listened to a woke science fiction story on you tube. Wasn’t a bad story line but the alien was a “him/her”

Every sentence. “He/she said.......................

It was just distracting and the story and writer will not live through the test of time.

Most likely the publisher received a grant to require it...................
