Couldn’t have happened to nicer fascist enablers.
I don't get why people are downvoting this, the entire Mainstream Media both sided Donald Trump throughout his entire first administration, then after he was ousted, and all during the election, while the criminal insurrectionist monster was threatening to burn it all down, which is preciesly what he's doing now. Fuck The Associated Press
I have the utmost respect for the associated press.
In my experience they report facts, not opinions. They're a non-profit. Because of their upstanding reputation they're the only news agency with a presence in North Korea, for example.
Since most of their clientel are not American, it makes sense not to use Trump's imaginary names for international locations. You wouldn't want 1300 newspapers to have to double-check the bulletins that come from upstream, it should be good to publish as-is when they get it from AP.
Most news sources use AP, but sensationalize the shit out of the stories. I agree with you, AP is fine. Not perfect, but what source is, but respectable.
