The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Wonder how this outfit rates the Associated Press? Probably fairly highly.

The problem is...they're funded in part by left wing groups:

freebeacon.com - Associated press coverage of courts climate bankrolled by dozens of left wing foundations

The Associated Press, the country's top wire service, is now bankrolled in part by millions of dollars from left-wing foundations, including one founded by "1619 Project" author Nikole Hannah-Jones.

Now cue the complaints about the WFB. <--Don't care.

The Ida B. Wells Society, founded by "1619 Project" lightning rod Hannah-Jones, has teamed up with filmmaker Steven Spielberg's Hearthland Foundation, for example, to foster "more inclusive storytelling" at the Associated Press.

"Storytelling" sounds about right. They more or less make it up as they go along.

Associated Press spokeswoman Nicole Meir told the Washington Free Beacon that the organization maintains "complete control" over content produced through its philanthropic partnerships, and that "no funder has any influence over AP journalism."

Sure, Jan.
