But it does fill in the bits you didn't say

The Associated Press (also called the AP and AP Wire) is an American non-profit news agency company. It is based in New York City. The AP is a non-profit cooperative owned by the major United States daily newspapers, radio and television stations who share its news stories. Most articles are written by staff members belonging to the Newspaper Guild Union, a part of the AFL-CIO. Many news organizations that are not members pay a fee to use the stories. The AP has more than 250 local news offices in more than 100 countries.

These three are the source of almost everything you see in the western news sphere and beloved of your biased media fact checker. You should read the link at the end but you won't because you won't like it.

• The American Associated Press (AP) with over 4000 employees worldwide. The AP belongs to US media companies and has its main editorial office in New York. AP news is used by around 12,000 international media outlets, reaching more than half of the world’s population every day.

•The quasi-governmental French Agence France-Presse (AFP) based in Paris and with around 4000 employees. The AFP sends over 3000 stories and photos every day to media all over the world.

•The British agency Reuters in London, which is privately owned and employs just over 3000 people. Reuters was acquired in 2008 by Canadian media entrepreneur Thomson – one of the 25 richest people in the world – and merged into Thomson Reuters, headquartered in New York.

Neither are recognised by law in Hong Kong. That said, same sex couples do not get harassed by law enforcement, bigots, or religious nutters. So while their relationship isn't anointed by the registry office they are otherwise free to love who they want to love without fear.

Taiwan governs most cross-strait marriages under a distinct set of laws that require couples to marry in China before having the union certified in Taiwan

Let’s start answering some basic questions before we run to press.

Lol, AP is owned by American media corporations. They only tell you what they want you to know

Most of the MSM also ignores it, just like they do a lot of stuff

And yet everyone believes everything they say about Iran/China/Russia/Venezuela and all the other places we have been trained to despise.

Do you think it will stop even if Harris wins the election? I'm not very optimistic.

fears of an all-out regional conflict

Netanyahu isn't afraid, it is exactly what he wants

"If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

President Biden - 8 Feb 2022

When asked how, the president says, "I promise you, we will be able do that."

American taxpayer dollars get recycled into the pockets of the military industrial complex and it's investors. Death and destruction are America's primary exports

That’s the absolute last thing you want to do if you’re trying to cover something up.

And that's exactly what they want you to think.

Instead, the US on Wednesday approved a further $20 billion weapons package to Tel Aviv, showing exactly how committed the Americans are to securing a permanent ceasefire.

There will be no end, no meaningful discussions even, while Netanyahu remains in power. Israel wants war with Iran.

No need to choose, Australia is easy to bully

They are terrified of repercussions from the US.

“I won’t stand for it. Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?”

Not at all, Liz, not at all. The far-right would use violence

That has always been the plan

It is saying that the intermediary who compiled the student's application added content that the student didn't sumbit:

The person in charge, “Xiao Rui”, told Zhang that a certain country’s tertiary institution had opened a “green channel” for Chinese students who intend to study abroad.

“Xiao Rui” claimed that the application documents needed to be “properly polished” to increase the chances of admission. Instead, the documents ended up being “implanted” with large amounts of false content containing anti-China prejudice and reactionary political speeches, said the ministry.

“Without his knowledge, Zhang went from a student with a simple resume to an anti-China ‘vanguard’ - a victim of this overseas study agency’s illegal behaviour,” the ministry noted.

It's a Reuters story

Voice of America is a CIA mouthpiece
