Associated Press (via PBS NewsHour)
U.S. lean left
The Associated Press is a not-for-profit news cooperative founded in 1846 and owned collectively by roughly 700 U.S. member news organizations, including newspapers and broadcasters. Most media bias trackers rate it lean left or left-center, though it aims for factual, objective reporting and earns consistently high marks for accuracy. During the Trump administration's second term, the AP has been broadly critical — most notably refusing to adopt the administration's 'Gulf of America' renaming and successfully suing the White House in 2025 to restore its press pool access after being banned.
