Fox News is altering language in AP and Reuters articles on anti-trans legislation — including a quote from an elected official - Beehaw

“Gender affirming care” was replaced with “sex change” or “sex reassignment” in at least 19 articles.

Is it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?
I can't speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.
