I hate captions like this. "Investigators are pictured...". Lame. Totally lame. Investigators are not the focus of the story, nor the picture. Why not begin "A car is shown crushed under a fallen construction beam..."

J-school flunkie. Weekend J-school flunkie. If I were AP, I'd be ashamed of such writing.

If I were AP, I'd just be ashamed of a lot of stuff that has happened.

The way AP editors allow journos to spin a story is often atrocious and an outrage.

Like today's stories about fighting in a "holy city". A holy city can't be when filled with thugs, guns and bombs, who want to kill you on sight.
