AP, once seen as impartial, collaborates with left-leaning foundations.
Associated Press Collaboration with Leftist Organizations
The Associated Press (AP), a news organization often accused of having a leftist bias, has recently come under scrutiny for its collaborations with various leftist organizations. According to a new report, the AP has been working closely with groups such as the Ida B. Wells Society, founded by Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of the controversial “1619 Project”.
One notable figure involved in this collaboration is Ron Nixon, the AP’s global investigations editor, who serves on the board of directors for the Ida B. Wells Society.
Other organizations that the AP is working with include the Lilly Endowment Inc., Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
The Jonathan Logan Family Foundation and Take Back the Court
The Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, which states its support for organizations advancing social justice, provides funding to Stacey Abrams’ New Georgia Project and Take Back the Court. Take Back the Court aims to add seats to the U.S. Supreme Court in order to address issues such as voting rights, reproductive freedom, workers’ rights, climate change, and democracy.
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and Advocates For Youth
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation funds Planned Parenthood and Advocates For Youth. Advocates For Youth has developed a curriculum called ”Rights, Respect, Responsibility” (3Rs), which introduces concepts such as same-gender parents and the idea that boys can have female body parts, and vice versa. The kindergarten curriculum also teaches that some people’s bodies can be different.
The innocuously-named non-profit developed an equally harmlessly-titled curriculum entitled “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” (3Rs). Concepts 3Rs teach kindergarteners include “same gender parents,” the notion that boys ”can have” female body parts, and vice-versa. Lesson 2 of the kindergarten curriculum states, ”Most people have a vulva or a penis but some people’s bodies can be different.”
The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and Affirmative Action
The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation expressed its disagreement with the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn affirmative action, stating that it impedes colleges and universities from addressing systemic racial inequalities.
These collaborations and funding sources raise questions about the AP’s objectivity and potential bias in its reporting.
Richard W. Hoover, a retired Foreign Service officer, pointed out the AP’s biased coverage in relation to former President Trump and President Biden’s family. While Trump’s difficulties were extensively covered, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability’s investigations into alleged Biden family bribes were not reported.
In 2020, the AP urged journalists to use more neutral terms when reporting on Black Lives Matter events, discouraging the use of “riots” and suggesting “protests” instead. The term “looting” was also criticized as ”racist”.
