AP Orders Staff:

[mikeandike]

"mosque 2 blocks from WTC site," "Muslim (or Islamic) center near WTC site,"

This seems to imply that the WTC still exists... They were destroyed weren't they?

[WOBBLY BOB]

“Burlington Coat Factory Jihadist Gathering Place”

I can’t believe it took them so long to get collective act together. They’re normally very good propagandists. They just never imagined the Brilliant One would step in such a big pile.

But never fear, they will try harder to reset the tone of all negative news. The AP (Associated Propagandists) can always be counted on to improve the presidential image through pseudo-news in any way they can.

[highpockets]

The AP has always been liars for Islam.

The AP is a whore and nothing more. And they are cowards. They fear Muslim violence. If Christians start killing journalists the AP will stop propaganda against them.

[historyrepeatz]

On orders from the propaganda wing of the White House, no doubt. It’s a “Victory Mosque” anyway.

Media Bias PING

REMAIN CALM! ALL IS WELL! OBAMA IS A CHRISTIAN!

Repackage and resell, it’s the progressive way!

Lie about it! Lie about what you believe! It’s the leftist/liberal/progressive way!

MSM: "We Report, We Decide."

Oh by the way, the Ground Zero Mosque is located here:

[a fool in paradise]

Instead of the "Ground Zero mosque," AP recommends that reporters use the terms "mosque 2 blocks from WTC site

Just as John Kerry claimed the Swiftboat Veterans did not "serve" with him yet also endorsed him.

[Bigh4u2]

“mosque near ground zero,”

What’s the difference if you say “ground zero mosque” or the above?

They both mean the same thing!

[super7man]

This whole thing reminds me of when they won’t keep score in little kids T-ball. Every kid out there (and every parent) knows exactly what the score is.

Do they think we are dumber than 5yr olds?

[DoughtyOne]

Okay, lets help out:

Roach Motel?
Cultural Propaganda and Outreach Center?
Babylon West?
In a Pig’s Eye, Quisinesta Complex?
09/11 Celebration Hall?
Center For: Here’s a Thumb in Your Eye, Infidels?
Center For: Screw You Americans, and Your Dead Relatives Too?
Center For: Sharia Implementation?

I’m sure there are literally thousands of more accurate names to be used.

[Responsibility2nd]

The Ass. Press is correct.

I’ll not refer to it at the Ground Zero Mosque. No sir.

It’s the Hamasque.

[a fool in paradise]

Also included in the advisory is a "Fact Check" to provide "additional background" for reporters.

"Fact Checks" are only provided when they need a response to moderate and conservative criticism.

There are no fact checks in the media for attacks on the Right.

[Dallas59]

One of the "facts" that the AP feels the need to "clarify" is that Ground Zero mosque organizer Feisal Abdul Rauf is a moderate Muslim...

I bet he's over in the ME giving the radical moozlims a piece of his mind!

Lol!

Soon to be next door: Burka Coat Factory.

Rauf counts former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright from the Clinton administration as a friend

Madeline Albright said she was worried about America being the only superpower.

[a fool in paradise]

He’s such a tolerant muslim that he refuses to call Hamas a terrorist organization even though our State Department does.
