    Gives me a little extra respect for AP than before. Don’t comply with fascists. Make them show just how incredibly sensitive and ridiculous they are.

      More respect for the AP? Them and Reuters are the two defacto news orgs that 95% of other news get their articles from lmfao.

        But I was assured by all the vocal defenders of that stupid bias bot that fiiiiiinally went away (payments must have dried up) that the AP and Reuters are left-wing rags.

          AP and Reuters are Zionist rags. Certainly not left wing.

          Reuters was the primary source which spread lies about the Maccabi hooligans who were beating up people in Amsterdam being the “victim of Pogroms”.

        I love AP, too. Even Reuters can get a little eyebrow-raising sometimes, but I find AP pretty consistently solid. They’re straight-up targeting the actual, real-deal journalists. ProPublica’s likely to be fucked with, too.

        Oh, for sure. I’ve noticed a lot of other news sites simply citing them or republishing their content. To clarify, I didn’t mean what I said in any kind of “I didn’t respect them much before” kind of way. I heavily respect them, as well as ProPublica, like another person mentioned earlier. I just hold even more respect from them after this.
