Actually just need to get hold of, or challenge, the Associated Press. AP is the poison pill in the works. Virtually every Publisher/Broadcaster uses AP for background and filler. They have such an incestuous relationship with the DNC it boggles the mind. If any major Corp had such close ties with AP every Leftist would scream "Conflict of Interest" but since it is the "proper" Political Party that pees in the "news" well, it is the fact that dares not speak its name in Washington DC.
You are correct - my local Arizona Repulsive doesn't appear to have any reporters/investigators of their own. EVERYTHING is from the almighty AP and they are the source of the MSM liberal bias that filters down to all newspapers in this country and world wide.
