Maybe not - didn't one of the bloggers sit next to the guy from AP at the last hearing? The AP guy was CLUELESS as to the facts of the case. I think that the Durham AP stringer probably has no idea what is going on here.
They were copying verbatim from the ethics guidlines. AP is such a slimeball organization that I wouldn't put it past them to deliberately switch words, but since they've stopped calling the accuser a dancer and started calling her a stripper, it gives me mental whiplash to think they'd doctor publicly available guidelines deliberately to make them the opposite of what they are and insinuate Nifong insulted the accuser. I'm still thinking innocent mistake.
