In other words, “We were about to have a massive layoff until someone showed us that canceling our AP contract and keeping people and making them do their own damned jobs was cheaper.”

Will anyone notice?

I doubt very many will.

"the content we offer will be distinctive, compelling and, I am proud to say, our own."

Bon chance, mon petit!

AP is not worth it.

Every liberal press organization subscribes to the same propaganda and and repeats it like an echo of disinformation and nonsense.

CNN should create it’s own unique leftist lies.

Hahaha! Screw the AP. As long as they employ Democratic operatives like Jennifer Loven they have no credibility. Wither and die you a-holes. I still pray those lib editors will demand reporters who don’t have Obama bumper stickers on their prius’

Will anyone notice?

I notice a great thread on Associated Propagandists and Collectivist News Network.

Thanks for starting it, abb!

I get my local and state news from the Tribune-Review (suburban Pittsburgh), which actually used their own reporters rather than DNC talking points.
I get my national and international news from The Wall Street Journal.
Neither paper is perfect, but they at least use their own reporters and make an attempt to be balanced on most things.
I think that using your own reporters is crucial. The news wires homogenize the newspapers which use them; it is no good comparing editorial pages of papers and thinking that a conservative editorial page maps to conservative news. Because conservative news is an oxymoron. The only good news ("Gospel" being Greek for "good news") is almost 2000 years old . . .
