[Unmarked Package]

Haven't we reached the point where, at the very least, the White House Press Secretary should refuse to respond to any story issued by AP without an independent source to corroborate it? AP has sunk to the level of junk tabloid journalism. It's a shame that so many news organizations are forced to rely on the substandard work product of AP. A very public rebuke of AP is justified.

If done well, it could be very funny and be as widely reported on as the original story. I bet Toney’s up to it, but I doubt the Republican Party could defend it when questioned/interrogated later.

You are seriously impugning the integrity of junk tabloid journalism, as you so deftly put it, with these comments!

Please think these things through more carefully in the future!
