Is it me, or is AP becoming FAUX news light |
|
the past few months it seems they are running nearly as many fictional anti Obama and anti Democrat stories as FAUX news.

9. They've been doing crap like that for at least five years |
|
When the Bush administration came into power, every US "news" service took a hard turn to the right. Even NPR has become a neo-con echo chamber.

7. AP is toast. Just a fancy right-wing propaganda puppet at the moment |
|
no cred, no honor, no real journalism.
They are pushing propaganda and spin.
And it is a great loss to America.

10. You missed the news about AP from a few years back. Completed |
|
transition to partisanship. When you see AP - read only for the slant Republicans are giving on something or even consider what is being said as a plant to help a scheme that will not be beneficial to Democrats.
It is a grand theft when any news source is taken over. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NPR. C-Span has always tilted right. (Fox was designed from the start to slant and hug right.)

11. Becoming? I've written dozens of complaints to AP over the last 8 years for the bias in their |
|
stories. One I recall was about a reporter in Crawford where she wrote about the 'patriotic' counter demonstrations against the anti-war ones.
