AP: Still not off the hook

I simply don't read or watch news from MSM. At all.

What a waste of time.

Bump!

"Rush lives to be 150 years old."

And never loses his mental faculties!

[Logical me]

I don't know if these AP stories are just faked to increase there usefulness to the MSM for prestige or they are just bias and hate President Bush. I suspect they are the same bunch of liberal jackasses and some day will be held accountable for hurting the US. Slanting news has been the media for a long long time. They believe the gruesome bad news sells and anything nearing good news if boring.

[the anti-liberal]

I suspect much of the problem is that most universities where "journalism" is taught are themselves very "liberal" "minded". Just as most school teachers come from these same universities.

"Thanks for adding that."

No problem! 150 yrs old is one thing, 150 and still sharp is another!

[the anti-liberal]

I actually stopped watching television altogether - how much of just the commercials alone are intellectually and emotionally unhealthy (in a so-called "liberal" kind of way)?

Someone really needs to track this guy down (if he exists) before AP runs a headline:

Capt Jamil Hussein Killed by US Forces

end of story

Michelle is one of the best conservative pundits out there. My hat is off to her.

[the anti-liberal]

Even so, there should at least be a paper trail related to his identity, dead or alive.

[the anti-liberal]

Sometimes I go to her site first then come here, sometimes I come here first then go there.

[james500]

I'm kidding, of course. This episode will eventually get resolved but in the meantime, who's going to go check the paperwork? Associated Press or Reuters?

[the anti-liberal]

They've already decided they're right - fake but accurate - so there's obviously no need for either to check.

I can envision an oversight organization whose purpose is to check the veracity of stories submitted by organizations, such as the AP, before they're allowed to dispersed them to various publications. Such oversight and checks could be a kind of 'stamp of approval' to reassure readers of the veracity of the material they're reading.

Heck, if I had the means I'd form such an organization. People need to be able to trust the validity of reports before they can depend on them.

[Weep-o-crat Hunter]

Weepocrats are everywhere.

[the anti-liberal]

I hope you've brought a lot of ammo with you (silver stakes?)

[holden]

There's more to the AP saga yet to be uncovered by Michelle. Deborah Seward was the prior AP International Editor, who resigned not too long ago. What a tangled web they've woven!
