Sure the AP can carry columnists and opinion pieces, but if you look for that article in your local paper, I don't think that's how it will be presented.

ETA: well, the headline does start with "Analysis" which I suppose to most readers should trigger a recognition of bias.
You're right, it's not clearly marked and I think we're seeing more and more of that lately.
