Paul Krugman suggests AP has an anti-Clinton agenda

Following the Associated Press' false tweet that Hillary called all Trump supporters members of a "basket of deplorables" (as opposed to half), Paul Krugman has begun to suspect they have an anti-Clinton agenda, especially since they recently lied about the proportion of Clinton Foundation donors who visited Clinton at the State Department.

Krugman: "Something definitely wrong at the AP. Doing it *again* after the Clinton Fn disaster suggests someone with agenda"

Checkered history of the NYT. I went their to see who its editors are and found myself being educated about them and their agendas over time.

that day's negative headlines over articles about Hillary Clinton. It was a rare day when a solid majority wasn't pulling an "AP" on her.

That said, at least the Times' headlines had some kernel of distorted truth, which could not be said for the AP's Foundation attack piece with phony numbers constructed to push a lie. Or this latest one that fatally eliminated the words "half of."

I'm not Krugman. I don't have to be as careful: There can be no question that AP's extremely prejudicial distortion was deliberate or that the AP has an anti-Clinton agenda.

Question: Does AP have an anti-DEMOCRAT agenda?
