Subtle, huh?

[NormsRevenge]

AP .. “fair and impartial coverage”.. snort!!! (Or should I say Snork!!!)

Way to go, Ron Fournier!

[theDentist]

does Hussein Obama's campaign pay the AP a retainer?

No need. The AP is Obama's b**ch.

***Subtle, huh?***

Extremely! I had to reread that list like 10 times to see the ANY bias! /s

[gridlock]

Does a bear poop in the woods?

It will not matter. The Round-Heeled Media has lost it’s stranglehold on the American Electorate. They will do everything they can for Obama, and he will lose anyway.

[Shelayne]

Is the AP Campaigning for Hussein?

Yes.

Whenever dems start bringing up McCain’s rich wife, please remind them of John Kerry’s millionaire wife.

[The South Texan]

Why does Obama need to have a rapid response team when they have the AP? The journalistic community should be embarrassed by the bias at the AP. But then again, THEY ARE the AP.

[Bigun]

Is the AP Campaigning for Hussein?

Is a pigs butt pork?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The AP whore’s itself to democrats for free.

Oh my gosh--you read my mind! I was just about to post this:

And the AP headlines (paraphrased) on Yahoo are (I kid you not):



Barry blasts McCain about his houses

Kaine hopes he'll be Obama's VP

What the VP picks are up to today

Barry's magic makes black Repubs become Dems

Veep Sheet: Obama meets Kaine's staff (Politico)

Both camps compete over McCain being W's twin

I don’t know if it is true of all page views of Yahoo News but there is a ranking/rating of stories based on click throughs and there used to be a 5 star rating or something to “rate” the news.

The Left used to “vote up” certain stories and “vote down” other stories to supress some reports.

Such is the internet.

You should listen to NPR. Their news broadcast is all about Afghanistan and Georgia, and the rest is devoted to Barak Obama. It’s like listening to a 20-minute ad. They love to use words like attack and condemn when describing McCain’s ads, and to dwell on the lamentable fact that McCains ads are negative. Poor Barak! They seem to think that McCain should stop being a racist, and step aside so Barak can assume the mantle of the Presidency that he obviously deserves.

This thread is my explanation of why the Associated Press - and thus journalism at large - is different from the newspapers of the founding era in that AP journalism claims objectivity whereas pre-AP newspapers did not.
