When we invaded Iraq in phase I of the Iraqi war, the doomer and gloomer posters on Free Republic loved to past AP and Reuters BS to discredit our troops.
Most of them eventually got banned, there are a few left. I used to tangle with these pushers of gloom and doom via the AP/Reuters bs. Their reason for posting the gloom and doom bs was that it was news. Of course they had voted for GW since he was 2 years old.
For more clarification where most of the AP so called reporters are coming from, do a search with their name with Gay added on Yahoo search. Often they have been pushing the Gay Agenda for years, hate GW and conservatives 24/7.
The most revealing search was on Tom Hays, the Ass. Plick, who lied about republicans cheering when GW announced that Clintoon had been admitted to the hospital.
Below is that search. Hays is an long time out of the closet gay, who pushed the Gay agenda. One of his lovers was on the flight crew of one of the planes that took out the Towers on 9/11.

Great detective work.
That is an interesting part of this story.
