AP Take Down Their Fact-Check Of JD Vance's Amorous Couch Claims
The Associated Press committing one of the cardinal sins of journalism here by inserting themselves into the story. At least that's my take on it so far. Snopes, which fact-checks all sorts of internet memes and foolishness that some people sometimes believe as truth (although obvious jokes to other people), has no such qualms at keeping their fact-check up.
Humourless corporate media or something more nefarious, it doesn't really matter. JD Vance's couch-fucking proclivities will live forever on the internet because that's what the internet is for. And if the Associated Press wanted more people to believe in the internet meme they'd delete their story, so good job Associated Press.

The Associated Press removed its fact-check debunking the claim that former President Donald Trump’s running mate Senator JD Vance (R-OH) once had sex with a couch just 24-hours after it was published after the article “didn’t go through” the outlet’s “standard editing process.”
A spokesperson for the Associated Press told Mediaite:
The story, which did not go out on the wire to our customers, didn’t go through our standard editing process. We are looking into how that happened.
