So are they picked up now by ACORN or do they go directly back to the democratic party?

Eliminate the middleman and get paid directly from the Obama administration.

So what ever little voice of reason that organization had left will soon be gone.

AP-O doesn’t have to worry. Most of those slashed will find a government job someplace.

Does this equate to a 10% reduction in pro-Obama adulation?

The AP should “slash” its own throat.

Then again, how would the lib-Dem machine get its propaganda talking points published across America and the world.

The AP, hands down, is the worst most biased Democrat supporting conservative-hating “news” organization to ever exist.

I’ve worked in the news writing business a long time, and I know of what I speak having been involved with dozens of people who worked at AP.

Not one was so much as a fair middle-of-the-road thinker. Every AP writer I knew was obsessed with exaggerating and promoting the bogus claims of every wacky Democrat in existence.

The reponsible journalists (if any) will be the first to go.

Not if the others pick up the slack. BTW, do you own an official Hussein Obomber 'wacky wobbler' bobble head yet?

That means the remaining people will have to work harder to get the Democrat talking points out, and otherwise advance the Democrat agenda.

Unlike Reuters who mirror the same anti-US/GOP rhetoric from the AP. So far, AFP has been “readable”.

I hope the first 10% is the group that keeps writing nasty stories about Sarah Palin.

I know I shouldn’t say this, but I just chuckle with glee every time someone from the Extended Obama Campaign Staff (Dinosaur media) gets laid off.

Oh well, some German psychologist did a study which concluded schadenfreude is good for mental health. LOL

“Associated Press to slash 10 percent of staff”

Does this mean there will be 10% less Al-Qaeda Propaganda in their stories?

Can I help slash them?

I can bring my own knives.

When is ACORN going to start slashing their staff?

I'd be glad to help there too.

You sure about that? I see AP articles here all the time that are not posted link only.

And I can't find any mention of the Ass Press in the excerpt/link only list.

In other news, the LSM DeathWatch continues. YES!

10% of the AP staff are getting change they can believe in. What’s wrong with that?

Hi Edit35,

I agree with you 100%. Could you please tell us what these people hope to gain from destroying our country. Do they think they will be exempt from the consequences of their actions?
