We expect this sort of low-level, biased, pathetic reporting from CNN and MSNBC, but c’mon AP.
You guys have to be better than this.
#APFactCheck The reality behind President Trump's false accusation that abortion doctors execute babies. https://t.co/C0rHZIlYIl

They even hashtagged it.
*eye roll*
From the AP:
His comments, meant to taint Democrats, have been embraced by many anti-abortion activists, and assailed as maliciously false by many medical professionals. What’s clear is that he is oversimplifying a deeply complex issue. It’s already a crime to kill babies, but not necessarily a crime to forgo sophisticated medical intervention in cases where severe fetal abnormalities leave a newborn with no chance of survival.
‘Meant to taint Democrats.’
No, the only one tainting Democrats are Democrats, like Ralph Northam who ACTUALLY did excuse infanticide on a radio show in Virginia. LIVE. But you know, it’s all about Trump being a big ol’ liar and stuff.
Dana Loesch just unloaded on them:
How did you manage to write an entire article about this without naming and quoting Ralph Northam, citing the VA law, or the other similar laws proposed in other states? This is just bad journalism. https://t.co/WhOZaW50xu

Bad journalism.
Seriously bad journalism.
Facts are an "inconvenience" when trying to bash @realDonaldTrump. Or anyone else they they don't like.
I'm sure you have a few instances of someone misquoting you just to bash you.— GatorMike402? (@MichealHill18) May 13, 2019
Once more, as usual, you speak truth to insanity.

The AP doesn’t even try any more. All of their news stories now are just a couple sentences long with no real reporting.
A waste of time

It's propaganda journalism for the Democrats

No, Dana, it is not "bad" journalism. It is dishonest journalism.

Same difference?
Bad "journalism" has been the norm for decades now.

What passes for journalism today has turned the old NYTimes motto on its head: All the News That Fits the Narrative.

Tomorrow Ralph will accuse the GOP of fact checking a joke.

Just doing what they do best. Ignoring the truth.
— lois glenn (@lois7210) May 13, 2019
OR ignoring inconvenient truths.
Good point.
But it’s top shelf propaganda!

Ohhhhh, that’s right! Our bad.
