The Friday night dump after the lying smear is the cherry on the media bias sundae.

AP is a disgrace to the "profesion" of journalism

Journalism is a disgraceful profession. AP merely epitomizes it.

I'm starting to think there are a lot of little egomaniacs in the AP who don't want to be just journalists and writers, but instead they want to be kingmakers and big-time political players. They want to write the stories that they think will decide presidential elections and determine who will be in the White House and who will control congress. MSM journalists are out of control now and have turned "mainstream journalism" into this incredibly political business where everything except the sports news is written with a political bias.

I see this political bias (among other factors) causing a rapid fragementation of the news media into a wide spectrum of media outlets on TV, radio, print, and the internet covering the entire political spectrum. The four big liberal networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN) will continue to decline and lose viewers are they become left-wing media along with the NY Times and Wash Post. Center-left news media will evolve, along with an attempt at unbiased centrist media, and then you'll have center-right news media with Fox News and voices like Hugh Hewitt and Michal Medved. New cable channels, radio shows like Rush Limbaugh, and numerous websites will broadcast to people who are staunch conservatives. The liberal networks and the AP don't understand it yet, but their market has already fragmented and they've already lost half of their audience with another 25% about to be lost in the next ten years. I'm ready for more professionally written conservative websites right now....anything but the AP and its obvious left-wing slant.

AP = Awful Propaganda

AP is doing what "journalists" do these days. Spin facts into a leftwing media mythology, that allows them to bash a sitting President in a time of war. AP is no different from CBS, NBC, ABC et. al. That is the sad part. When you think about it they are not "disgracing" their profession. It is the profession itself that is a disgrace.

Thats like saying Bin Laden is a disgracing the "profession" of terrorism.
