Here’s The Scoop

In a recent display of media bias, the Associated Press (AP) faced backlash over a controversial headline regarding Claudine Gay’s resignation as Harvard president. The original headline, “Harvard president’s resignation highlights new conservative weapon against colleges: plagiarism,” was met with widespread criticism, leading the AP to revise it.

The revised headline, “Plagiarism charges downed Harvard’s president. A conservative attack helped to fan the outrage,” still insinuates that conservatives used the plagiarism scandal as a tool against higher education institutions. This narrative shift from the AP has raised questions about its credibility and journalistic integrity.

Despite the changes, the AP’s initial post, which still carried the original headline, drew significant negative attention. The post was ‘ratioed,’ with comments far exceeding likes, and received community notes calling out the AP’s biased framing.

Prominent figures such as Elon Musk, CEO of X, and the Redheaded Libertarian, among others, expressed their disdain for the AP’s original headline. The widespread backlash has led to a growing distrust in the AP, with many questioning its commitment to unbiased reporting.
