U.S. center / center-left
The Associated Press is a not-for-profit news cooperative owned collectively by hundreds of U.S. news organizations, with no single controlling owner or investor. It operates as a wire service—producing factual reporting that other outlets, including NPR, republish. Most media bias trackers place AP near the center or slightly center-left; the Trump administration has viewed it as hostile and banned its reporters from Oval Office and Air Force One press pools since February 2025.
