While looking at Q post #1871, I decided to poke around because I remember hearing years ago about some connections concerning how the news is disseminated. Looked up AP and found this which I thought was really strange and not what I expected as a definition of what a "news" organization used to/ or ought to be.
"The Associated Press (AP) is a U.S.-based not-for-profit news agency headquartered in New York City."
When you hold the cursor over the definition of "not-for-profit" it says this: "A nonprofit organization (NPO), also known as a non-business entity[1] or nonprofit institution,[2] is dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a shared point of view. In economic terms, it is an organization that uses its surplus of the revenues to further achieve its ultimate objective, rather than distributing its income to the organization's shareholders, leaders, or members. Nonprofits are tax exempt or charitable, meaning they do not pay income tax on the money that they receive for their organization. They can operate in religious, scientific, research, or educational settings."
Seriously? Blatant propaganda. What happened to reporting the facts? When did it become, "furthering a particular social cause?"
Sauce link. Yeah I know it's wiki but it isn't ALL wrong info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press
Doing some more digging, Reuters next.
