AP & Liberal Media dissected
Oh, That Liberal Media! ^ | 27 June 2004 | Stefan Sharkansky & Dave Huber

Posted on 06/27/2004 8:32:05 AM PDT by anita

The Associated Press has finally discovered Godwin's Law, but is too biased to apply it properly. Today's AP headline is written to blame the aggrieved party for crying foul -- "Hitler Image Used in Bush Campaign Web Spot". It takes a bit of reading to figure out that what's really going on is that the Bush campaign is merely displaying examples of the Democrats' over the top demonization of George Bush, including a Democratic ad equating Bush with Hitler.

Somebody (who else other than the conservatives) should call AP's bluff.

The AP has lost it. It has no credibility, and should be considered an enemy of America.

It now writes for an ever shrinking audience and tailors its propaganda for the most shrill left-wing sociopaths infesting America's larger cities. It should be accorded no respect and be seen as nothing more than destructive termites trying to undermine your home.

The AP story about President Bush's meeting and press conference with the EU was exctremely slanted. It made it seem as if the main thrust of the press conference was the prison abuse scandal. It gave grudging notice of the victories Bush had in Friday's formal agreement. Other stories based on this AP copy gave even less space to the positive outcomes.

This is the current top news story on AOL's front page. Millions of people are loggining in to AOL this afternoon and seeing, in giant type next to a very unflattering picture of the president, "HITLER IMAGE USED IN BUSH AD." Of course, very few of them will actually click through and read the article in order to get anything near the true story.

The hypocricy of the news media is sinking lower by the hour.

I've also noticed the AP's heavily biased slant. Just reading Yahoo news headlines gives me a headache (Yahoo news is done by the AP)

Yahoo news headlines gives me a headache

Me too. Their relentless bias is totally transparent. Why should anyone bother to read the "news" stories posted on Yahoo when its so obvious that AP has an anti-Bush political agenda? It really appears that Yahoo selects its headlines for political reasons rather than to inform its users. Sad, since its an otherwise useful site.

Earthlink's news page is also spoon fed by the AP. I recall they had the bogus LA Times poll about "Americans Not Supporting Iraq War" running from Friday through the following Tuesday in the "breaking news" lead story slot. I called Earthlink to find out what was going on and they said they had no control over the News Page and that it was controlled by the AP. I told them they better get control or I'd find a new ISP.

The day I dumped AOL was one of the most satisfying days of my computer's life. AOL's shameless bias in support of Kerry and the Democrat Party USA makes me wish I never heard of AOL.

Unfortunately, I am now with Comcast which is nearly as liberal. I hope the www industry hurrys up with the new satellite technologies which will allow me to dump them all and go with FoxNet.

(Okay, I made up FoxNet but what the hey - - Fox could do what these other clowns do, and probably a whole lot better. Not to mention fairer and balanceder.)

(Okay, I made up "balanceder", too.)
