U.S. center-left
The Associated Press is a not-for-profit news cooperative owned by its member news outlets and headquartered in New York City. Its coverage tends center-left in framing, according to independent bias auditors such as AllSides (rated 'Lean Left' as of 2026). It has been in open conflict with the Trump administration since early 2025, when the White House barred it from press-pool access over the AP's refusal to adopt the term 'Gulf of America.'
