Just wanted to clear that up.
Now as far as bias and sensationalism, well obviously you are free to form your own opinion on that.
Overall, I think they tend to lean left.

You bring up two very good points...one that AP is only a source The Sun uses to fill space...and secondly, that AP is, and always has been, left-leaning. We take every AP article with a huge grain of salt, then research those topics through
credible news sources to discover the truth.
