    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.

      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.
