You can’t believe a word they say, anyway!

The AP boycott might be the thing that finally knocks over the MSM dinosaur. They just don’t know how to cope with modern technology.

Since AP just distributes member newspapers' stories, can we still go back to the original source or does the fact that AP has distributed poison even the original version?

I think the AP should (excerpt) (excerpt) themselves.

Make the same demand of AP. If they ever quote anything or anyone on FR, charge them.

Screw em. We can get our news elsewhere or direct from the source.

The real question is that if an original news article is coopted by the AP wire but the original is the quoted source then does that trigger an AP lawsuit?

If so that could actually shut down a larger venue of news.

“Fair use” is a legal concept, based on law. AP is not free to make its own definition of “fair use.”

That said, a pox on them.

Works for me. The AP is nothing but a bunch of liberal Bush-bashers and Palestinian apologists anyway. I won’t cry if I never see any more words written by Nedra Pickler or Glen Johnson.

Gee, that’s too bad.

I wonder how AP expects such a decision will help their bottom line or grow their business.

When it indicates AP I always assume it’s mostly fiction.
