Justifying Its Banishment, the AP Brings Latest | Political News

For weeks we’ve got been subjected to the melodrama surrounding the Associated Press seeing its White House correspondents subjugated and faraway from the official press pool. The outlet has been making an attempt to promote it as a extreme First Amendment rights violation and a signal of the Trump administration sullying the honor of an esteemed information group.

Since the determination was made, the AP seems intent on proving it was a clever determination.

One story on DOGE staff needed to be massaged after the alteration of information had been referred to as out. Then the information syndicate offered the concept that cuts in spending had been resulting in the death of trees in minority areas of New Orleans, after which there was the egregious misquoting of Tulsi Gabbard carried out to slander President Trump. It has develop into laughable for the AP to assert victimhood.

In the latest attempt at a Trump hit job, we get this fully neutered attempt, the newest in the string of alleged calamities which can be the consequence of DOGE spending cuts. Now we’re informed AIDS is spreading in Ethiopia, and in case you are tilting your head making an attempt to reconcile simply how that transpired, that’s for good cause, as cause is totally deserted by the AP.

The piece begins by highlighting the case of a girl with AIDS the place she contracted it after a sequence of gang rapes she suffered at the arms of militiamen during wartime situations. Apparently the AP feels that if DOGE had not made spending cuts the rapists would…we’ve got to guess… been sure to put on condoms???

In different phrases, issues had been horrific final 12 months when Trump was not in energy. Add to this the destruction of ambulances, hospitals missing medicine, and medical doctors going with out pay – all the consequence of the ongoing battle in the area.
