How do they intend to enforce this unconstitutional policy? Have we no other recourse, such as not paying them? This policy of simply banning all AP articles sounds less like rebellion and more like capitulation to me.
No more speaking truth to pharoah. Pharoah proclaims, we stand mute.
I consider this move by AP to be more problematic for them than for the rest of us. No one will give the articles exposure other than some mainstream outlets which less and less people use anyway.
Maybe the AP will get lost in wake of the rest of the worlds press.
You can always say something like this in response to one of their propaganda pieces:
“According to the Associated Press in an aricle published on June 17, 2008, partly entitled ‘It’s all America’s fault’ (notice it’s less than five words) America sucks. They’re now reporting that the war is lost and we should surrender to the terrorists immediately. Actually, they claim it’s all Bush’s fault. They’re also saying that the Osama-Obama/Clinton ticket is unbeatable and we should just cancel the election and let them take office early.”
(and post a link to back up your critique)
How about this, posted with no link, no quotes, no author or title?
“I read an article from the AP today that alleged that (fill in the blank).” How can that be challenged? Will they sue us for that?
