AFP is previously unknown to me, and yes I did because its actually reinforcing the parents point about being a reliable source.

Maybe read before commenting, or perhaps allow people to be ignorant and admit that openly; jumping down my throat because I don’t already know your favourite news outlet solves what exactly?

(also don’t think I don’t see the irony of your bio being: “I usually don't know what I'm talking about.”)

I wasn't trying to jump down your throat for not knowing AFP, I just thought it was a somewhat funny-absurdist situation to have a major news agency ranked for reliability by some website with a name that's basically a maga dogwhistle (not saying it is affiliated, as it predates maga). I can see that my phrasing was quite bad.
