AP’s Fake News
Your article “Unnoteworthy News” about fake news (February 19 issue) really hit home with me, as I have witnessed it firsthand. But in your article, you failed to mention, arguably, the largest and worst agency for fake/biased political reporting, the Associated Press. In 2016, during the first presidential debate, I had occasion to discover just how biased this mainstream news service had become. Up to that time, I had always felt that when I read a newspaper article that contained the AP designation, it could be relied on to be factual. I could not believe that such a major news service would risk its reputation to slant its coverage. Then I watched the presidential debate on TV and read the AP accounts in the papers the next day. It was like two completely different events. The AP tried to make readers believe that then-candidate Trump had no respect for the military, when the opposite was the truth. For me, that was the end of allowing left-wing journalists to influence my opinion.
