Why Does AP Give Terrorists a Platform?

I don't know why. Perhaps it has something to do with the profit motive of commercial media.

Associated Press passes on propaganda with the title "Group claims Iran speeding up nuke plans" when a better title would have been "Terrorist Group claims...."

They report this despite a recent CIA assessment to the contrary. *shrug*
