The Associated Press is a not-for-profit news cooperative founded in 1846 and headquartered in New York, whose wire service supplies newspapers and broadcasters worldwide. Its English headlines centre on the United States, then Iran, Russia, China, Ukraine and Israel, with politics the largest share, followed by security. Its stance reads as consistently critical of Donald Trump, and neutral to critical toward the United States government.
The Associated Press is consistently critical of Donald Trump, in a skeptical, fact-checking tone that pairs neutral verbs with a selection of controversies, legal questions and setbacks. The United States is treated neutrally in some stretches and critically in others, and that criticism is aimed mainly at the current administration's actions rather than at the country. China, Xi Jinping and Iran are covered in a neutral, factual tone. Venezuela and Jeffrey Epstein draw the sharpest headlines in the measured period. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
