THE (NOT SO) INFALLIBLE AP ROBERT

December 8, 2006 -- THE most powerful media institution in all of human history is the Associated Press. Its news feed is ubiquitous - used, directly or indirectly, by every U.S. newspaper and TV news program and a vast number of foreign ones, too. AP maintains the largest world-wide coverage, and its reader base is nearly immeasurable. Unfortunately, and repeatedly of late, this behemoth has not only been getting it wrong - but increasingly refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing.

Instead, acting more like a politician or the mega-corporation that it is, the AP crew spins, obfuscates and attacks. Now they're at it again in Iraq.

This is no different from Blathergate.

We've realized for years that the MSM has been spinning the news to support the leftist agenda. Now they are fabricating entire stories. My sense is that we have moved into new and dangerous territory. The truth in America has an enemy, and that enemy is the MSM. Abandoning an adherence to the truth is a radical move. I only hope that the "new media" can combat the corrosive influence of the MSM. Liberty and propaganda are incompatable.

I confronted the editor of a local paper here near my home town about why most of their
stories are from the liberal biased AP and she retorted with some of the articles written are
from the paper's local reporters. Huge liberal biased in this paper and she didn't even have
the guts to admit it!

It's becoming apparent that these shyster deceivers will almost do anything to promote
their liberal/dem agenda.

Yep!

[Brilliant]

They are the closest thing to Big Brother on the planet.

AP's chief reporter from Iraq takes a bow.

[sgtbono2002]

That guy needs killing. he is one evil con-man.

[AmericaUnited]

They always overplay their hand.

I've been saying for years that the media produce a defective product, and that some clever tort lawyer needs to figure out a way to make them pay for the damage they cause.
