Kudos to the Washington Free Beacon for reporting on this.
When the Left tells you the media are necessary defenders of democracy, speaking truth to power and all that, it's all a farce.
AP Quietly Reveals Donation From Foreign Group That Trains Journalists as Climate Change ‘Activists’https://t.co/3dBDNSgKSb
— Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) January 2, 2024
The Associated Press’s latest foreign donor wants to transform journalists into "community activists on climate change." The AP doesn’t seem interested in publicizing that.
The KR Foundation, a Danish nonprofit that seeks the "rapid phase-out of fossil fuels," gave the equivalent of $300,000, to the Associated Press in December 2022, according to the charity’s annual report. Though the AP says it is committed to the "highest practicable degree of transparency" regarding its backers, the news outlet added the KR Foundation to its list of current philanthropic supporters only this month, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of the AP website.
It’s the latest left-wing charity to fund the Associated Press, which says it is read by four billion people each day. Philanthropies that support packing the Supreme Court, defunding the police, and other left-wing initiatives have contributed millions of dollars to the AP in recent years, the Free Beacon reported.
Why should we trust the media at all, on anything?

Yeah, same here.
As soon as the subject of hard-hitting journalism is someone the press is inclined to like, the question is no longer about journalism, but about who benefits from the discourse.

Would be nice if more reporters considered such questions once in a while otherwise. https://t.co/MoTqYNXG4C
That's particularly true of someone like Roberts, who writes about clean energy and the environment. https://t.co/ssJeiBA7Cd

It's very easy to see where the bias comes through and make the connections.
@AP you're allowing foreign investors to tell you what you can and cannot talk about? why would you sell yourself out like that.

Pathetic doesn't begin to cover it.

Journalists should not be 'community activists'. We can't believe we have to explain that.
Why does a paid news org have ‘donors’?
— 🌭 beastie wiener 🌭 (@GayLittleWiener) January 2, 2024
An excellent question. Probably because they are struggling, and they are struggling because no one trusts them.
Then AP should require all of it's employees to register as Foreign Agents.
— atouk🇺🇸 (@atouk_zug) January 2, 2024
They should. But they won't.
The AP long ago stopped being a legitimate news source. https://t.co/fHxr7UxW1k

Yes, it did.
So, basically Jesus Camp for journos. Hence the religious-like fervor in climate coverage. https://t.co/X8dM51zrWG

It is a religious-like fervor.

No one is shocked. No one.
The biggest issue is -- looking at other media outlets -- many of them, from local news up to national outletsuse AP stories. Look at a story, and many times it comes from the AP. So this is infiltrating media everywhere. Corrupting journalism everywhere.
You don't despise the media enough.
