The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

More respect for the AP? Them and Reuters are the two defacto news orgs that 95% of other news get their articles from lmfao.

Oh, for sure. I've noticed a lot of other news sites simply citing them or republishing their content. To clarify, I didn't mean what I said in any kind of "I didn't respect them much before" kind of way. I heavily respect them, as well as ProPublica, like another person mentioned earlier. I just hold even more respect from them after this.

I love AP, too. Even Reuters can get a little eyebrow-raising sometimes, but I find AP pretty consistently solid. They're straight-up targeting the actual, real-deal journalists. ProPublica's likely to be fucked with, too.
