Comments on: Sudan and the elections http://www.bookwormroom.com/2008/05/15/sudan-and-the-elections/ She escaped from the belly of the liberal beast Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:22:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Ymarsakar http://www.bookwormroom.com/2008/05/15/sudan-and-the-elections/#comment-23556 Ymarsakar Fri, 16 May 2008 16:34:44 +0000 http://www.bookwormroom.com/?p=2912#comment-23556 The Associated Press is like the OPEC of the media world. Many articles and anti-American propaganda were first sent by the AP via wired stories, which ultimately came from stringers or those "associated with the press", which meant they came from enemy propaganda organizations, centrally organized or grassroots based. When news orgs like the NYTimes or Fox News can't get a local reporter on a certain story, or if the AP broke that story first, then what you have is a 1000 repetitions of a wire story sent by the AP. And guess what that wire story is almost always about when it concerns America? America being a bad bad dog that needs to be chastised, of course.

The comments over at the Huffpo site are astounding. I shudder to think that some of those commenters actually vote. That AP piece can be, with charity, called infantile.
