Tom Curley became president and chief executive officer of The Associated Press on June 1, 2003.
Curley was previously president and publisher of USA Today, the nation's largest-selling daily newspaper. Since 1998 he was also senior vice president of the newspaper's owner, Gannett Co., Inc., publisher of 100 daily newspapers in the United States.
Curley was the original news staffer on the project that led to the creation of USA Today.
Why is it that these folks can't figure out which side they are on? On the one side you have the US military, that is trying to save that country and drag it back from chaos, and on the other side you have idiots who hack off heads for fun and shoot at children because they are watching a soccer game on TV without the Mullah's permission. And AP is standing in the middle, not able to figure out who is in the right.
That explains quite a lot, actually. USA (leftist) Toady is positioned in hotel rooms and airports across the country. The sweet merciful crap that newspaper publishes (think DeWayne Wickham) is absorbed by not-so-young skulls full of mush.
USA Toady is a large part of why our populace is so dumbed down and the polls are as they are.
