THE FACTS: Trump has said he doesn’t know about Project 2025, a controversial blueprint for another Republican presidential administration.
The plan was written up by many of his former aides and allies, but Trump has never said he’ll implement the roughly 900-page guide if he’s elected again. He has said it’s not related to his campaign.
That’s everything they said. Those are quite literally the facts which they can report on: what Trump says.
Nope. Not what you’re saying it is. They call out its origin even.
The plan was written up by many of his former aides and allies,
They also briefly mention what he claims. That is in no way corroborating it. They are simply trying to avoid seeming biased. The other time “2025” appears in that page, it’s a quote from Harris about how dangerous it is.
Well that’s the article my boss used to “prove” to me that trump wasn’t associated with it. It’d be nice if honest reporting wasn’t immediately cast out as being leftist.
He read the sentence he wanted, essentially summarizing Trump’s claim, and ignored everything else. What is AP supposed to do about that kind of idiocy? You could do that with practically any source of information
Unless he was diagnosed as a pathological liar, they should not. Not that he isn’t, because he is, but as a news organization they should only provide the facts, quotes, and unbiased contextual information. That is what we should expect from the news. It should not be “left-leaning” or “right-leaning,” because they shouldn’t tell us what we should think about what they are reporting.
They should report that some of his former (and possibly current, if it’s accurate) aids and expected cabinet members wrote, participated, or supported Project 2025. They should report what Trump’s response was when asked about it, as well as including the factual context of how many people directly surrounding him that were openly involved (to give the lie to him “not knowing”).
We need news to stop giving opinion. Period. They should strive to be as unbiased as possible, including reporting on events based on newsworthy-ness, not trying to be “fair” to the candidates by reporting on both in an equally negative way regardless of the severity of their respective news (e.g. Obama’s tan suit vs. Trump’s children in cages.)
Then they don’t have to use the word “pathological”. If they aren’t reminding people that the fascist liar is a liar, then they are part of the problem.
I would assume they’re also wary to give any opportunities to the serial libel/slander suit filer with a history of decrying “fake news”. Especially backed by the DOJ.
Meanwhile the newspapers: “FACT CHECK: It is incorrect to associate project 2025 with the Trump campaign” 🙄
Besides fox News and the like, who said that?
The Associated Press did

This is normal and decent journalism.

Those are some questionable sources.
The Associated Press:
What am I missing here? Two sentences telling us his claims isn’t the complete failure of journalism y’all seem to be insinuating it is…
Those two sentences would be a lot less horrible if they weren’t prefaced with “THE FACTS:”.
It is a fact that Trump claimed not to know anything about it
The election coverage I saw on AP this week confirms that they are compromised as well. They are dead to me.
Yikes, they should show how its related to him.
They should also mention that most everything he says is a lie.
A better start to that would be:
