When did the Associated Press get so "FAIR AND BALANCED?"
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 10:59 AM by jackstraw45
Their latest PATHETIC right-wing headline:



Democrats stage all-night debate on Iraq

"WASHINGTON - Senate Democrats made Republicans stand, talk and sit for marathon arguments against the protracted war in Iraq in an all-night session where the most eye-catching props were the beds brought in for the sleepy."

Yeah, I guess the Dems could have used our TROOPS as props as Dumbya has for 6 years. Oh, but the AP would never call anything the Chimp does "staged"....

4. Noticed that. Used to be able to count on the AP for just the news...no longer.
What a shame...

2. Did you miss this one? AP article: "Slumber party in the Senate?"

Save yourself the aggravation and don't go there -- basically written to trivialize the Democrats.
