My latest in PJ Media:
The Associated Press (AP) is one of the largest, most respected, most venerable news sources on the planet. It is also increasingly clear that the AP, in these overheated days, has reduced itself to acting as a press agency for Hamas. This tendency has become so pronounced recently that among all the massively biased far-Left propaganda outfits that make up the establishment media, the AP has essentially disqualified itself from being regarded any longer as even close to being a reliable source for news.
The first indication that the AP had run off the rails came during the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, when Israeli forces bombed a building in Gaza that housed a Hamas operations base and an AP office. The AP protested, claiming that it had no idea, none whatsoever, that it was sharing a building with Hamas, and this organization of intrepid journalists was put into the embarrassing position of having to be informed by Israel’s Ambassador to the United States and the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, about the operations of Hamas right under their noses.
But it’s almost certain that they knew already, and said nothing about Hamas’ presence in their building because of sympathy with the jihad terror organization and a shared antipathy to Israel. This became clear again on July 13, when the AP ran a tear-jerker entitled “Israel bars jailed Palestinian from daughter’s funeral,” claiming: “Israel refused to let a prominent jailed Palestinian lawmaker attend her daughter’s funeral on Tuesday, despite a campaign by activists and human rights groups for her to be released on humanitarian grounds.”
Those terrible Israelis! And it gets even worse. According to the AP article, the “jailed lawmaker” was “Khalida Jarrar, 58, a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine,” who “has been in and out of Israeli prison in recent years. A military court sentenced her to two years in March for being a member of an outlawed group. With time served, she is set to be released in October.” Her late daughter Suha “worked on issues related to gender and climate change for the Al-Haq human rights group.”
Suha “worked on issues related to gender and climate change”! Why, she was a saint on earth, and the evil Israelis wouldn’t even let her bereaved mother pay her respects! However, the AP left out a few telling details. According to Gidon Ben-zvi in Algemeiner, Suha Jarrar worked for the same terrorist organization of which her mother was a member: “Suha Jarrar worked for al-Haq, a highly controversial organization with ties to the U.S.-designated terrorist group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP], of which her mother was a member. Al-Haq has asserted that terrorists have a ‘right’ to receive salaries from the Palestinian Authority.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

No, it cannot be trusted. If anything, ignore everything they write regardless of the subject matter may it be the economy, politics, or whatever.

Can the Hamas-Linked AP Any Longer Be Considered a News Source?
…………….
Not a reliable one, sadly.

By whom?

It seems the “bribed” are everywhere and hence you can expect more chaos in the days and years to come.
When China had built the great wall to keep off the invaders, the gaping holes by way of corruption failed to serve the purpose of the wall.
Today our moral shield by way for free speech and expression to ward off evil is under threat like NEVER before!!!!!!!!!

VICTOR COWEN says
Yes 100% sir.
Now for your next question…
Where does the money come from that goes to the Hamas terrorists to bribe WITH?
For the uninitiated…It’s er…..you and me.

50 yrs. ago the Associated Press was the source for news world wide, and had a great reputation for accuracy and fair reporting, what Happened? Seems like the globalist and elite not only control the money through Americas federal reserve bank which is NOT a government agency, but privately owned by the Rothschilds and a small number of other elite families. They have now gotten control of the news media and feed us their globalist ideology.

OLD GUY–with all respect–the claim that the Federal Reserve is owned by the Rothschilds is mistaken:

Then, no Rothschilds are on the board of the Federal Reserve, either:
