Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Ap news is solid. Their reporting is consistently high quality. With breaking news they dont try and report all the unverified information sticking close to what is actually known.
You are never going to get news that isnt filtered through someone's lens. Alternative news is 1000x worse when it comes to disseminating propaganda.
They did not include which orgs complied with the regime, or draw parallels to the "ministry of truth" authoritarian precedent that this action represents. Look at what they choose to omit.
I never said alternative media is more trustworthy or less bias.
From the article in the OP:
They didn't? It sure seems like they did to me.
APnews isnt there to list orgs that comply or draw parallels. Theyre a news site they tell you what's happening you read that and if you want to go further you can.There are plenty of other sites that will do that.
It's called due diligence, journalistic integrity, and reporting the facts.
"They're a news site." isn't an excuse for not covering all the facts of the story, in fact, that's the exact reason they're being held with scrutiny. It is their job to provide as much information as possible. That's quite literally what news reporting is for.
I want to insult you because tbh your comment is really fucking dumb.
Due diligence is checking your facts and sources are correct. Journalistic integrity is reporting on the truth even when its disadvantageous. None of those are broken by AP. They covered all the facts of the story.
If they didn't list all of the orgs that complied (which they did anyway), they would not have been covering all of the facts of the story.
If you can't wrap your head around that simple concept, you are someone that isn't worth engaging with.
My comment that's older than their shows that they did name the one org that complied. I agree, the comment above is stupid, but the AP did do what you want. The person above just lied (through ignorance or on purpose) and said they didn't.
Yeah, I actually already knew that, I wasn't the OP for this comment chain, I just get annoyed when people say stupid shit.
