There is more to this and it is very long. But the first three papragraphs say it all.

That means we abhor inaccuracies, carelessness, bias or distortions. It means we will not knowingly introduce false information into material intended for publication or broadcast; nor will we alter photo or image content. Quotations must be accurate, and precise.

Great. Do you mind if we speak with Jamil Hussein?

Only if that bias is pro-Republican, pro-life, anti-Global Warming, pro-gun, or pro-American does the AP abhors it.

I couldn't read past the first sentence but hope they didn't forget to thank Flat Fatima. (She's my choice for MSM personality of the year!)

Every word in this missive is a lie, including the words "and" and "the".

That means we abhor inaccuracies, carelessness, bias or distortions.

Anyone who's read AP reports on guns & gun control know this is a bold-faced lie.

One example is the A.P. propaganda piece on the Barret .50 caliber rifle, in which they said it could penetrate tank armor, etc.

FYI:

Barret News & Articles

With "Powerful Rifle" article, journalist shoots self in the foot

I wish I'd have kept it for posterity...one day this past November I observed an AP story about the potential of Clinton running for President having the Headline changed three times throughout the same day.

First headline included the names "Clinton and Bayh"

Second headline later in the morning read "Clinton and Rival"

Last headline in late afternoon that day read Clinton and something else entirely different from the previous two, but all three were the same AP story with the third slightly tweaked to accomodate the new point in the adjusted headline. Basically it was the third repost of the same article though.

My point being that somebody screwed up and put Bayh's name in the same headline with Clinton's thus had to be changed to "Rival". Somebody got in trouble with that one. Nobody shares a headline with Hillary unless approved by her or her handlers first. The AP obviously works hard to tell nothing but the truth as the DNC/Hillary provide it.
