Why blame the AP? They are a wire service, but they don't control what papers do or do not print.

What is offensive is that AP fancies itself to be the guardian of good taste for thousands of American newspapers rather than letting individual newspapers make that decision

Guess you did not see this Asso Propaganda apprently decided to censor the images. Since the images are the story it is complete contrary to the Junk Journalists pretentions to being the defenders of the people's right to know for them to refuse to publish the images. Apprently some religions are more equal then others when it come to the Asso Propaganda Editors deciding what is "offensive".

Where do you think papers get their internationall news? If the NY Times does not print it and the AP does not carry it, it is not news according to most of the old media.
