Also, AP's quality has gone up in recent months (about the last year).
People should actually be very alarmed that while AP's business model is shot to bits, Americans are still very much reliant on the news it delivers. The alternatives in some cases are inferior or non-existent.

![15. After the AP filed this lawsuit on February 21, 2025, White House officials
continued to confirm, over and over again, that the ban on the AP’s access is based on the
content and viewpoint of the AP’s reporting. On February 24, 2025, while interim U.S. Attorney
for the District of Columbia Ed Martin was seated at counsel’s table during the hearing on the
AP’s motion for a temporary restraining order, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of
Columbia posted the following statement online attributed to him: “As President Trumps’ [sic]
lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect his leadership as our President and we are vigilant in
standing against entities like the AP that refuse to put America first.”3](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreiamvkqeftwnhr4rfdtvb7azmzlebqg2nx32xai5aksedysmyhn2le)
