One of the leading wire services has been given millions of dollars from left-wing organizations.
The Associated Press announced last year various “partnerships” to assist reporters covering topics such as climate change, race, and democracy.
Many of the donor partnerships fund left-wing ideologies.
The funding presents challenges for the Associated Press to maintain that it shares unbiased news.
The Associated Press is also using funds from nonprofits to fund race and climate stories.
Its “democracy journalism initiative” is funded by an organization also supporting the New Georgia Project from Stacy Abrams and Take Back the Court.
The wire service also receives funding from various philanthropic organizations emphasizing climate change.
Reporting from Free Beacon:
The Public Welfare Foundation, which gave the Associated Press a $200,000 grant this year for investigative reporting on crime issues, funds organizations that supported legislation in Washington, D.C., to drastically reduce penalties for various crimes. Associated Press spokeswoman Nicole Meir told the Washington Free Beacon that the organization maintains "complete control" over content produced through its philanthropic partnerships, and that "no funder has any influence over AP journalism."
