AP went to the Left a couple decades ago when it was bought out by a new owner or conglomerate of leftists.
They have/had a few good reporters but the bulk of them are dishonest, incompetent, leftist, anti-American or just plain stupid, or any combination therefor.
Thanks to some conservative reporters/journalists, we are getting more of the Charlottesville story, including who the communists, black racists, and psychopathic Blocs/Antifa are.
It is our job to spread these articles around to friends, other local papers and news stations (asking why they didn’t cover it honestly or used dishonest, biased sources), on the internet, talk-radio shows (which I did on Mark Levin about two weeks ago), etc.
We are now, by default, the de facto spreaders of the “truth” as has been seen by our “eyes and ears” on the ground, including Tucker Carlson, Buck Sexton, Jesse Watters, Judge Jeanine Piro, Larry O’Connor, Matt Vadum, Trevor Loudon, and others.
This is a job that has to be done, fearlessly, honestly, competently, in detail, in context, and as an ongoing basis.
I’ve been doing this for 50 years and I love it. But it got lonely out there as the old-timers passed away and few younger people took up the task. Believe, telling the “truth” will give you more personal satisfaction than most other things you will do for the public.
I gave up on the AP and cancelled my local paper years ago when they described a gun used in a crime as a “military style assault pistol”. Another source said the gun was a 1911. Can’t handle that much bias is a news story.
