Some extreme partisans live in a severe enough alternate reality that 'just the facts' can cause cognitive dissonance. If a story isn't spun to 20,000 RPM in the correct direction, it feels wrong to them.
I haven't been reading pure AP. Their reputation may be as you say. I can't really confirm anything.
