Fax The AP For Free and Tell them to FIRE Scott Lindlaw (one of the most BIASED)!
Of course, I don't really think they'll fire him, but it's high time we let them know that we're onto him.
Scott Lindlaw is not a journlaist. At best, he's a sloppy liberal with a liberal agenda; at worst, he's an outright propagandist.
For samples of his most recent work, click HERE and HERE.
Lindlaw has got to go... it's time to shine a light on this cockroach.
Please fax the AP for free and tell them to fire this liberal hack.

Fax For Free - Tell The AP To FIRE Scott Lindlaw!
We have nothing to lose...
BUMP!

P.S. Maybe don't include the word "cockroach" in your fax if you want to be taken seriously.
Oh... LOL... of course not.
Worth a try. :-)
I agree. I just think that if they get a barrage of emails demanding that this guy be fired, they'll lower his profile for a while.
Go for it :)
BUMP!
DONE! That was fun!
BUMP!
These are neocommunists who, like the old world communists, see major distinctions of doctrine where nothing really exist. A better approach might be to write from the perspective of another ultra-left winger who believes another left wing position is more important. The ideal posture for us is to half the tree huggers and the owl lovers working against each other.
Complaints to the AP that this guys work denigrates and offends some sub-group of the leftist concept that he propagandizes for might be more effective. The lefties are always jockying among themselves for position. When one flaming liberal accuses another flaming liberal of being a running dog for a third flaming liberal concept, it might be more effective than telling the boss that his employee should be fired for advancing a core value of the organization.
Actually, I see so much bad and awful bias (like New York Times deliberately finding the 1 Republican in a 1000 who sounds like Michael Moore), that his work seems tame.
Scott Lindlaw himself has done worse in the past:

Hi there, I had posted this on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1169284/posts and there were a lot of angry people. Thank you for taking this task on, he should not report.
I'm sure they'll up and fire him based on a couple of e-mails - NOT!!! Let's e-mail Kerry & have him replace Edwards with Hillary while we're at it.
AP Editors,
Too often I see bias in so-called news articles run by AP. This latest AP piece made me wonder: Scott Lindlaw's "Some Key Conservative Uneasy about Bush".
It was rife with content-free generalizations like:
"Conservatives, the backbone of Bush's political base, are increasingly uneasy about the Iraq conflict and the steady drumbeat of violence in postwar Iraq, ..."
There are many lies in this one sentence alone.
First, the violence is not a 'steady drumbeat', but is being gradually reduced since this Spring's failed insurgent effort to stop the new Iraq. Second, there is no polling to suggest Conservatives are particularly uneasy about Iraq, they support the war. Third, that support has not dropped in the last 2 months. In short, this is editiorializing and conjecture. In fact, later in the article it is pointed out: " A Pew Research Center poll last month found that 97 percent of conservative Republicans favored Bush over Kerry."
So, "some Republicans have doubts" about Bush is better stated as "3% of conservative Republicans"... Not many.
Ah, but wait a second, Lindlaw might reply, the rest of the sentence is " ... Halper and some of his fellow Republicans say. " So he is merely reporting. But if Halper is speaking nonsense (he is) why is Lindlaw wasting our time on a crackpot claim? Which is my real point.
Lindlaw's real bias is in channelling this particular point of view, Mr Halper's incorrect views, without balance. Where is a single quote from the 97% of Bush supporters? Folks like me who say the Iraq war was worth it, the US is winning, the handover is going very well, and Bush deserves re-election.
You are silencing our voices with your bias!
This bias leads me to ask: Is Scott Lindlaw up to his old tricks of inserting bias and spin where it doesnt belong?

Stop this man before his kills the truth again.
