Do you take a bus or a lunch to work?
Are you married or happy?
What’s your middle initial?
When are you going to clean up your room?
If Gloria Steinem’s in a room alone, is anyone really there?
Pardon me, but is that the sun up there?
When is there no “there” in there?
Why can’t you spell cheap without AP?

why is the AP so biased to the NYC liberal mindset?
why doesn’t the AP do any journalism?
why does the AP reprint DNC press releases without investigating?
how is the AP going to hire more conservatives?
why doesn’t the AP release its approved languge use writer’s manual free online so the public can see it?

Why do they have to editorialize in the headlines, subheadings, first, second, and third paragraphs, before they even get around to really showing us their lefty/Dem bias?

Why are they slanted to the left?
Why do they have a monopoly on what news is transmitted around the world?
