A hundred times yes. AP is inseparable from US imperialism. It projects the Pentagon’s version of reality to a global audience. Through sheer volume it floods the airwaves to the detriment of other countries’ own news agencies, sets the agenda, and is integral to US hegemony, as soft power.
Their issue. I’m not a teacher, and I’m done trying to school baby liberals. This isn’t reddit, but lemmy.ml, as in Marxism Leninism, and I’m too tired to go hunting for basic media imperialism 101 articles to argue on the internet because some guy said “src plz”. The source is me, ok. This is not an academic paper, go find your own sources if you wanna dig in. I’ll even help you out: Google Scholar the terms “associated press” and imperialism and soft power. Or better yet, just fucking read Lenin’s Imperialism, highest stage of capitalism. This is basic shit that anyone from of the 50+ countries US empire has invaded knows.
News flash: they’re all biased, written by biased humans, edited by biased humans, etc etc.
Meme out of the way:
Overall, we rate the Associated Press as left-centered biased due to left-leaning editorializing of news stories and frequently conducting fact checks on conservatives. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a reasonable fact-check record.
