A complete waste of time on the part of the Associated Press. They don’t own the news and never did. All they ever had was a near-monopoly on electronic distribution. The internet has supplanted their system.

Once CNN.com “disappeared” from the index, CNN will drop AP in a micro-second.
What ever happened to UPI?
