It's not so much that the Associated Press is trash — we've known that for decades, but most newspapers across the country run their articles as "news"

Mr. terrance fraser, princeton graduate, currently a student at the newark school of social journalism and ap “truth seeker”

AP ”fact checks” Christopher Rufo, and blatantly, deliberately lies.

As Twitchy reported, it was a matter of days between the National School Boards Association sending a letter to the Biden administration and Attorney General Merrick Garland sending a memo to the FBI directing it to coordinate efforts with local law enforcement in the face of threats to teachers and school board members. Anti-critical race theory crusader Christopher Rufo sent out a tweet saying that Garland’s memo followed the National School Board Association’s request to classify protests as “domestic terrorism.”

The Associated Press fact-checked Rufo and found his claim to be false:

The AP’s Terrance Fraser then reports his employer’s lie as “news”, and off it goes to the 14 people left in the nation who still read newspapers.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The organization — the NSBA, for short — is not asking Biden to label parents who protest at school board meetings as terrorists. The NSBA asked the administration to do an interagency investigation of threats of violence against school board members and said the threats “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” Biden has yet to publicly comment on the issue, and there’s no indication he or the Department of Justice has called protesting parents “domestic terrorists,” despite false claims to that effect by social media users.

It’s probably not unfair, though I don’t care if it is, to suggest that Mr. Fraser, a young, gay black man, is fortunate that Princeton has long since abandoned its merit-based admissions policy.
