U.S. center to center-left
The Associated Press is a U.S.-based, member-owned nonprofit news cooperative that has operated since 1846. Independent media analysts generally place it at center to center-left, citing word choice and story selection that leans somewhat liberal on certain policy topics. Since early 2025, the Trump administration has actively restricted AP's White House access in a dispute over the agency's refusal to adopt the administration's preferred term 'Gulf of America'; AP sued the administration, and the two remain in open conflict.
