I've started using AP as my main news source after trump's attack on the outlet. [View all]
I had been using Google News but found I needed to block so many outlets that spouted right-wing trash. I also couldn't care less about pro sports or trivia news (hollywood stars, etc.)
I do always read The Guardian and ProPublica. Empty Wheel and many blogs. Reuters can be good but focused on business.
But I want a concise way to see what is happening in the world (first) and the US (second). AP seems to give me this ability.
Appreciate anybody else's opinions!

The Associated Press (AP)[4] is an American not-for-profit news agency headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1846, it operates as a cooperative, unincorporated association, and produces news reports that are distributed to its members, major U.S. daily newspapers and radio and television broadcasters. Since the award was established in 1917, the AP has earned 59 Pulitzer Prizes, including 36 for photography. The AP is also known for its widely used AP Stylebook, its AP polls tracking NCAA sports, sponsoring the National Football League's annual awards, and its election polls and results during US elections.
