The Associated Press (AP) faced fierce backlash on Wednesday after publishing a sympathetic article about Hezbollah terrorists “struggling to recover” from Israel’s pager attack, with critics slamming the report as terrorist propaganda that would make Nazi sympathizers blush.
The controversy erupted after the AP’s piece, which garnered over one million views on X, detailed the “slow, painful path to recovery” of what the outlet acknowledged were “likely” Hezbollah members and terrorist “dependents.” The lengthy feature reads like a sympathy piece for Iran-backed terrorists, complete with hand-wringing about a Hezbollah fighter who “can no longer play football” after losing an eye in the sophisticated Israeli operation.
Conservative lawmakers and media figures unleashed a torrent of criticism, with Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) calling it “an utter disgrace that this ‘news’ agency is writing puff-piece articles designed to garner sympathy for terrorists.”
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) mocked the piece, writing: “AP: Won’t someone PLEASE think of the terrorists?!”
