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
Basically yeah. The second one would imply that this quote is pulled from the AP fact check, and would absolutely be headline worthy, because to claim that action isn't grooming is downright heinous.
The first one, intentionally or not, implies it to someone who may not know any better, or reads headlines without doing their own research, when in fact the AP Fact Check didn't address that at all
Wow. You're a special pede, aren't ya?

The portion of the headline attributed to the AP isn't in quotes, thus it is a summarization of the thesis of the article, right?
Correct. I don't think it's a good or accurate summary though.
Well, we will have to agree to disagree, then. I believe that the headline perfectly summarizes the Apr 12 fact check, after reading it.
Peace out, homie.
The difference between this:
AP ‘Fact Check’: It’s Not ‘Grooming’ to Sexualize Young Kids Away from Parents
and this:
AP ‘Fact Check’: "It’s Not ‘Grooming’ to Sexualize Young Kids Away from Parents"
