"As you may or may not be aware, it's worse/better than that. The AP/media relationship is a CONJUGAL one. Not only is the AP owned lock, stock, and barrel by the major media outlets, but, as a cooperative of the elite media, they were able to secure tax exempt status for the AP also."

Simply amazing what a "free" peoples don't know, eh?

It's no wonder the AP slime artists get away with what they do and with such relative ease.

Precious few apparently aren't aware they're recieving a *sign* whenever they see "The Associated Press" on any rags article.

A "Stop" sign to be exact.

...to read no further.

Precious few apparently aren't aware they're recieving a *sign* whenever they see "The Associated Press"....

And I suspect that even fewer are aware the AP, in many cases, prepares several different versions of the same story so's their "product" will have a broader appeal to their clients/owners. One is able to "pick and choose" the version that best fits their agenda, audience, or advertisers. The WSJ and the LALA Times may run the same but different stories from the same source on the same subject. Could get confusing, eh?
