U.S. wire service, broadly nonpartisan
AP is a member-owned, not-for-profit news cooperative funded by licensing fees rather than a billionaire owner or state budget, and its wire copy is built around a studied neutral, fact-first style. Its relationship with the second Trump administration has been adversarial on access (the White House barred it from the Oval Office and Air Force One in 2025 over its refusal to adopt the term 'Gulf of America', prompting an ongoing lawsuit), even as its day-to-day reporting hews to the same even-handed wire conventions it applies to every administration.
