    AP isn’t “some news outlet” though, they are the news outlet that other news outlets get their news from You’re implying a political slant that isn’t there. Their job is to report the literal and factual news. Other news outlets then use their articles to create or add political insight to their own articles should they wish to do so.

    For example, AP didn’t report that Ukraine was a “special operation”. They did report that Putin was calling it that.

    That’s the difference between impartiality and political alignment.

      The headline says they are a militant group. Not that they call themselves that it what not.

      I generally get your point and that is correct. But I don’t see that here, as per above.
