Woo Hoo!
Bias = Layoffs.
But, did the Daily News replace AP with someone else? If so, hope it wasn’t Rooters - since they are even to the left of AP.
This is the best news you have ever posted.
Wow, that’s interesting — have any other major papers done this? (Or is it simply they’re switching to Reuters, which I didn’t see noted in the article).
Why should a local paper report waste column inches and money buying wire pulp anyway, which is available in a million other places.\
Others should follow suit. AP Washington bureau is a leftist enclave.
Looks like the price of Amalgamated Propaganda(AP) is going up.
Lefties’ lack of understanding market forces does them in—again.
I LIKE that acronym!
Yep. The notion that somebody is going to rely on the dead-tree media for all their news is an obsolete concept. If I want the latest news from the Mideast, I am not going to bother looking in The Daily News. I will buy that paper for their unique content, like their original reporting or Mike Lupica or their columnists. Warmed over filler pieces can be found any of a thousand places, for free, on the web. Why would I pay money for that?
Don’t know if the NY Daily News will use Reuters or if any other newspapers will follow suit. One certainly hopes it’s the start of a trend.
The AP is a co-operative. That is it recycles stories from member news gatherers and regurgitates them back out to whoever wants them.
I can remember a time when AP was pretty much in the middle of the road. But in recent years, they are as far left as Reuters or AFP or any of the other news services.
I think AP had more terrorist stringers and photographers in Iraq than any of them.
How could you tell? This is not a trick question...
Cancelled AP? How will they get their DNC press releases?
When a photographer can stand there and watch terrorists execute people right in front of him, or when he can stand there and photograph a couple of guys with a shoulder missile launcher waiting for a helicopter to come by, or when he repeatedly fakes news stories about dead children killed by our soldiers, then you figure he’s a terrorist.
And I’m sure AP knows it. Unless their guys had terrorist connections, they wouldn’t have been safe walking the streets during the worst days.
LOL! What I meant (and should have said) is how can you tell if AP’s terrorists were any worse than the terrorists who report for Reuters or AFP - or ABCCBSNBCCNN?
Sometimes I hear people saying that CBS is worst, or Reuters is worst, or CNN is worst, or whatever. But they all seem to be equally bad. I guess probably I have read more miserably biased AP stories than any others because they have a bigger operation.
When you have Charles Rangel, Chuck Schumer, and Bill Clinton right up the street from your operation, who needs the AP to manufacture news?
