They cannot; it would run counter to the very reason for the existence of "objective" journalism. Which is to create a single voice speaking to the entire country. That is what the Associated Press is.

It's more than just an issue of editorial balance.

Thanks to wide Internet availability and 24-hour news channels, people can get the news far faster than any printed newspaper in the USA. As such, by the time we actually get the paper the news in the paper may already be out of date. And it's going to get worse as people with EVDO-enabled cellphones (like those from Sprint and Verizon Wireless) and HSDPA 3G cellphones (like those from AT&T and T-Mobile) can get the latest news (including streaming video!) just by turning on their cellphone.
