They do. They always change definitions to fit their narrative. From the article;
But that’s a departure from the commonly understood meaning of grooming, according to experts, who say the term refers to specific tactics that sexual abusers use to initiate contact with their victims.
The "AP Fact Check:" part of the title informs you that the quote that comes after is FROM the AP.
Those two dots on top of each other (this thing :), is called a colon, which you may not have learned about if you're younger than 40 and went to public school in the US.
Try to remember that just because YOU are IGNORANT about something, doesn't make everyone else wrong.
But the article that is referenced doesn't include that quote anywhere. The only occurrence I can find of that quote is from the Breitbart article.
A colon is a great introduction to the meat of a sentence, such as in this case or where there is a list following. However, in journalism it's more appropriate to have the actual quotation marks around the statement if they're pulling a quote. They did use single quotes around "grooming," but nowhere else.
But again, the biggest flaw in the argument you're making is that you can't find the supposed quote anywhere affiliated with AP. Unless Breitbart can source the origin of the quote (which it doesn't in the whole article), it looks like it's just the title of the article
So, if you can find this quote within AP, please let me know! Because I can't
This headline was actually Breitbart's headline. AP didn't say that
I did, and I don't see how the title sums it up well, unless they have a different definition of sexualizing children

Yeah that's what I understood grooming to mean too, hence my confusion
But I'm mostly confused about their definition of sexualizing children. Breitbart makes no further mention of what they mean by that in the headliine.
Wow. You're a special pede, aren't ya?
