AP Continues Anti-GOP Bias
News Busters ^ | 11/13/05 | Lisa Fabrizio

As is their practice, the Associated Press once again demonstrates that some of their writers will often use quotes by Republican conservatives out of context to damage them; even if that context is one of their own reports. In addition, they will distort and even mis-report facts when it suits their purposes.

In his latest, GOP's Legislative Agenda Losing Steam, the ever-reliable David Espo doesn’t disappoint. He opens his gloom and doom piece explaining the GOP agenda is in trouble due to, “President Bush's sagging poll numbers, an unstable leadership lineup in the House and growing concern about congressional elections less than a year away.”

Its over! Bush is history. The Republicans will be tossed out on their rear's end! The MSM making up what they think will happen, not what's actually happening.

Hear this news, all you Democrats. The GOP is done for.

So you don't need to go out and vote anymore.

Apparently the MSM is doing everything in its power to make sure that Bush isn't elected for a third time. Idiots.

That the mainstream media is biased is no longer news -- but a well-accepted and well-established fact. That's why new media alternatives are exploding -- while the newspapers and their ilk are buying out the contracts of all their employees not doing anything but eating free samples all day.

Well the constitution says that you cant be elected to a third term, but since Bush stole the first one, then i guess he can run again!

AP's Washington Bureau is in the same league as CNN and the NYT when it comes to bias.
