I just logged into my Yahoo account and these were the featured Associated Press headlines:
"A housing issue: McCain not sure how many they own (AP)"
"Governor: Kaine thinks he's on Obama's short list (AP)"
"Obama inspires black Republicans to switch parties (AP)"
"Campaigns vie over whether McCain is Bush clone (AP)"
"Obama casts McCain as rich, out of touch (AP)"
My only question is, does Hussein Obama's campaign pay the AP a retainer?
This thread is my explanation of why the Associated Press - and thus journalism at large - is different from the newspapers of the founding era in that AP journalism claims objectivity whereas pre-AP newspapers did not.
