Outlet track record
Associated Press (via The Hill/ABC affiliates)
U.S. center-left
The Associated Press is a not-for-profit cooperative owned by its U.S. member news organizations and funded primarily through content licensing to outlets worldwide. Independent bias audits have generally rated it as leaning slightly left of center, despite its longstanding commitment to objective, wire-service-style reporting. Its relationship with the second Trump administration has been openly adversarial: the White House banned AP reporters from press pool events in early 2025 over the outlet's refusal to adopt the term 'Gulf of America,' and listed AP among news outlets it labeled 'biased.'
