AP Flooded With Claims of 'Bias' Over Latest Story on Hillary Clinton — Check Out the Headline

The Associated Press was hit with numerous allegations of media “bias” on Friday after publishing a story under a headline considered to be flattering to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The headline reads: “As Donald Trump rises with harsh rhetoric and backlash, Hillary Clinton preaches love and kindness.”

The story centers around Clinton’s response to an Iowa man who asked her at a campaign event how the country could “confront a new wave of hate and fear,” according to the AP.

"We've got to do everything we can to weed out hate and plant love and kindness," she replied.

The Clinton campaign even came out with a new catch phrase after the event: “Love trumps hate.”

The AP story also included comments from Republicans mocking Clinton’s attempt to portray herself as “warm and cuddly.” The negative responses to the story seemed to overwhelm the positive.

Spot the bias. https://t.co/39vmYxUeE1
