AP JUMPS THE SHARK ON BIAS: If you run a left-wing nonprofit advocacy group with beaucoup bucks and want to shape how the nation’s oldest and most widely read wire news service covers a particular issue, say climate change, or “democracy,” or race, then the Associated Press is ready to join forces with you.

As the Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross explains:

“The Associated Press is also taking nonprofit money to fund coverage of race and climate. The organization’s ‘democracy journalism initiative,’ a division whose reporters cover “the intersection of race and voting,” is bankrolled by nonprofits such as the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation. That organization also funds Stacey Abrams’s New Georgia Project and the left-wing activist group Take Back the Court, which advocates for expanding the Supreme Court.”

And that’s just a small slice of how a once-hallowed news operation has sold its soul.
