AP Fact Check failed to act in response to Zebra Fact Check’s correction request noting the former’s fallacy of equivocation in an abortion fact check. Accordingly, we sent a complaint to the International Fact-Checking Network noting AP Fact Check’s failure to scrupulously follow an open and honest corrections policy.
Note: The embedded document differs from the one sent to the IFCN in that the third paragraph contains a “[sic]” to show we recognized our use of “live” where “life” was intended.
