I’m ashamed that I honestly thought the AP was a neutral news source at one time because of the name. But we are living in an age where reporters say that neutrality is bad.
I lost that innocence during the second infitada, when both the AP and Reuters were acting as the propaganda arm for the PLO due to sheer laziness. Before that I thought they were like every other outlet, generally left leaning but trying to be fair within that lane.
Like many Gen X, I had my 80s innocence stripped away by Bill Clinton, and the process hasn't really stopped since his 2 terms.
Yup, that's exactly what happened. They hired stringers because the lazy fucks wouldn't even leave their hotels, and those stringers were giving them PLO press releases.

Same here. Although I guess Clinton would be seen as right wing to the modern democrat party
They'll pretty much put on the wire what you send em.

Journalists have never been above other people doing their work for them.
