This site tends to have fairly reliable analysis of media biases, and AP falls questionably between center and leaning left.

>Because AP’s displays of Lean Left bias are quite infrequent, AP still warrants a Center rating.

They just rate it center. There is no single media source that will never have any bias at all. So that would mean there would never be an center.


I completely agree with your conclusion, but you're cherry picking a quote.

>AP is a source that AllSides has struggled to rate, due to its content seeming to toe the line between Center and Lean Left. People on the right may be more likely to see AP’s content as clearly Lean Left. While AP's news and world reporting is largely Center, AllSides has found AP often includes subjective, leftward analysis in hard news reports and omits sources in its political writing; in addition, its fact checks are biased to the left
