###### Associated Press & Reuters -> DeCapiGate. The Associated Press, Reuters, and Voices of Iraq should immediately apologize for publishing this completely false story, and push for immediate retractions. The Associated Press should admit full responsibility for not following good journalistic practices of verifying a story though legitimate responsible sources, as they were in a headlong, reckless rush to publish.
###### Associated Press' Journalist has a rather colorful past as left-wing activist & "radical".
###### Cause & Effect - CBS Sued -> by Gay Producer .
###### NBC's Brian Williams losing viewers faster than Katie Couric? -> Now we know why.
###### Repeat this, MSM! -> We 're a Generous Country. Donating money to dems ok, but wearing Flag-pin is not?
###### SF Chronicle Blog Mourns Staffers -> Who Lost Jobs. As Hearst's San Francisco Chronicle lays off some 100 staffers, the newspaper's Web site is updating a blog, called Colleagues Remembered, that posts obit-like items about the departing employees.
###### First Daughter Jenna Bush through CNN(!) Reporter's Prism.
###### Hamas scores publicity coup in U.S. Media.
###### Casualty of LATimes newsroom-downsizing: LA Times Managing Editor.
###### AP Story 'Perpetuates Subtle Myth' -> Senior Pentagon official says.
B u z z ........
*** KTNV anchor Christina Brown (served in US Air Force) is joining MSNBC as a news anchor.
*** "Maxim" Owner -> Hillary Clinton 's Treasury Secretary?.
*** National Public Radio = “National Palestinian Radio.” :-).
*** Matt Lauer was in London for Sunday's Diana concert when Piccadilly bomb scare news broke but didn't think that was important enough story for him to cover.
*** MSNBC dropped its Sunday 12-4 newscast due to dismal ratings last December. Now, it 's dropping Saturday afternoon newscasts as well.
*** NBC hired Mike Levine (who was just fired from Fox) as producer of "The Chris Matthews Show".
*** NARAL launched an attack on CNN's Nancy Grace for her on-air announcement of her pregancy with twins & the subsequent congratulatory wishes she received from multiple guests & callers (accusing her of promoting pregnancy). She is #2 on ratings next only to Larry King.
*** Al Gore's youngest daughter, Sarahis getting married next month with Chinese-American businessman Bill Lee. (Foot-note: NYTimes covered Rupert Murdock's Chinese-American wife like a scandal.)
*** ABC WH Correspondent Martha Raddatz, anti-war book & hollywood -> the connection.
*** The week that was.
LOL. MTP moved on to their real agenda, promoting Hillary Clinton.
By the way, that Brody fellow on the panel, the token conservative, is pretty much worthless. I suppose that was why they allowed him on.
Is that the same Bill Lee involved with the toon’s WH?

Here is the last line in the story:
“but the broader point is that reporters,especially AP Reporters, are very much a part of the stories they cover”
A comment that should send chills into every editor in the country yet doesn’t in today’s msm/print community(at least what is left of it)
