AP was created by newspapers.

AP is THE root cause of much of the left-worshiping bias media in America, because it usually provides the first blush of many a national story. (which is what sticks in our minds)

By time the truth, gets its boots on, the AP (and the public's collective mind has moved on to the next story.

Ironically, the only counter to the Democrat-loving AP is the DrudgeReport, which also provides the first blush to many a national story.

God Bless Matt Drudge, because he is the rock solid counter to the slanted AP.

You have a rich fantasy life. If only it were so.

AP is THE root cause of much of the left-worshiping bias media in America, because it usually provides the first blush of many a national story.

Does AP choose the left wing bias of the news, or does it merely redistribute the left wing bias of a few leading newspapers? Do they get 100 pro-Obama stories and 100 pro-Bush stories but spike the pro-Bush stories, or do its affiliates provide 100 pro-Obama stories and 1 pro-Bush story which AP distributes?

I really don't know if AP is the cause or the effect of the MSM's left wing bias.
