Associated Press (via Baltimore Sun)
U.S. center to center-left
The Associated Press is a U.S. not-for-profit wire service collectively owned by its member news organizations, with no single controlling owner. Independent fact-checkers generally place it at center to center-left on the political spectrum, with high marks for factual accuracy. Since early 2025 it has been in an active legal fight with the Trump White House after being barred from press pool events, reflecting a sharply adversarial relationship with the current administration.
