The Associated Press is catching a barrage of criticism for its Tweet on Thursday about the conviction of a Dearborn Heights man who shot and killed an unarmed 19-year-old Detroiter.
The popular news wire changed the wording of a Tweet after people began to complain that the AP used its limited space to mention that Renisha McBride “showed up drunk on porch.”
Offended Twitter users mocked the Associated Press with the hashtag “#APHeadlines.”
