The Associated Press has morphed into a Berkeley-style left-wing rag. The key difference is that the Associated Press plays to a global audience of millions.
Take, for example, how the AP broke the news this week of the Supreme Court’s ruling against Colorado’s attempt to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot. The court ruled unanimously, 9-0, that Colorado had no legal authority to bar a candidate from running for federal office.

It’s not hard to figure out. The left took control of many of the universities in America. They churned out “journalists” and teachers who were indoctrinated. This was a feeder system of communists to the public school system and all levels of “news” reporting. As the years passed, with the indoctrination beginning K-12, the news media welcomed a flow of hardened communists.
Here we are.

AI probably uses sources like AP in order to write its stories.
AI cannot “create” much, it just spits out what someone has already done.
