It's been going on for years.....
AP is a slick propaganda machine. Do they teach anything about unbiased reporting in journolist school? Or, do they just teach the students to write/report what the boss wants them to write/report, anything goes in order to maintain employment?
How can Americans make good decisions, if the media won't report the truth?
I actually had an ‘editor’ at my former paper that used to tell all new J-School grads “Forget everything J school taught you. It doesn’t work that way in the real world. This is how I do things...”
As you can imagine, none of our readership took the paper very seriously.
