AP Again Accepts Funding From Climate-activist Group

The KR Foundation leaves little doubt where it stands on the issue of climate change. On its website, the group states that its raison d’être is to “address the climate crisis by pushing for a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels at a global level. In line with the Paris climate agreement, as signed by governments, and backed by industry and society.”

And now, for the paltry sum of $300,000, it has one of the world’s largest news organizations ready to issue propaganda disguised as news on its behalf. It’s estimated that somewhere around four billion people have access to content from the AP each day.

Of course, the KR Foundation is small potatoes when it comes to the AP accepting funds from climate activist groups. Last February, the AP admitted that it’s taken at least $8 million from climate activists when it announced that it had created a new team to focus on climate-change issues.
