AP Quietly Reveals Donation From Foreign Group That Trains Journalists as Climate Change ‘Activists’
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | January 2, 2024 | Chuck Ross

The Associated Press’s latest foreign donor wants to transform journalists into "community activists on climate change." The AP doesn’t seem interested in publicizing that.

It’s the latest left-wing charity to fund the Associated Press, which says it is read by four billion people each day. Philanthropies that support packing the Supreme Court, defunding the police, and other left-wing initiatives have contributed millions of dollars to the AP in recent years, the Free Beacon reported.

While the AP says it maintains editorial independence from its deep-pocketed donors, its climate reporting reflects many of the KR Foundation’s core beliefs. A recent AP story about the United Nations' annual climate conference praised negotiators who sought a "phase-out of fossil fuels" in order to save "a planet in peril" that is "dangerously warming." An article last month asked: "How did humans get to the brink of crashing climate?"

The AP has come under scrutiny of late for its liberal slant. AllSides, which tracks media bias, last year changed its rating for the AP from "center" to "leans left," because of bias in the stories it chooses to cover. The AP recently barred its reporters from referring to Hamas as a terrorist organization. The AP, which once shared office space with Hamas in Gaza, came under fire in December for calling Israel’s response to Hamas’s invasion "among the most destructive" military campaigns "in recent history."

The AP and KR Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.

But of course that doesn’t affect their ability to be objective.

From their website:

“there is no other solution to the climate crisis than to change current production and consumption patterns, especially in high-income countries. To enable this, we must rethink the current economic system, including its theoretical and methodological underpinnings, to create an economy that works for both the planet and ...

Translation: Reduce the standard of living, especially in productive countries, by ending capitalism.

Climate change is nothing more than another avenue the world’s elites are employing to take control of the world’s smelly Walmart shoppers and imprison them in 15 minute villages.

I believe Klaus Schwab of the World Enslavement Forum said they pay Journalists to be their mouthpiece
