SUUURRREEE it will! Go to this link and vote your disgust at such a ridiculous title: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=536&e=2&u=/ap/20040720/ap_on_el_pr/bush

"CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - President Bush (news - web sites) said Tuesday his re-election will ensure safety for Americans as well as for those in the rest of the world in the war against terrorism.


"After four years more in this office I want people to look back and say, 'The world is a more peaceful place,'" Bush told supporters at a community college in Iowa. "Four more years and America will be safer and the world will be more peaceful."


Justifying having gone to war in Iraq, the president said: "You can't just hope for the best. You have to lead."

1. Why is the AP so right wing?

[tom_paine]

3. Think about it. Let say you planned to destroy a democracy from within

starting in, saaaaayyyyy, 1972 or so.

Let's say you had a plan to dismantle the Free Press by detroying the regulatory underpinnings of said Free Press.

Let us say that, in addition to that, you already had an in because CIA had been using journalists as cover and helpers for quite some time.

Let us say you wanted to ramp up that project, using your own Private Spook Army plus your own corrupt faction still extant in the CIA.

What news organization would you look to infiltrate, parasitize and Mockingbird? Perhaps it would be the biggest "independant" news source? Would it be the organization which fills almost exclusvely the newspapers of small-town Amerika?

Would you work very hard to load AP with Mockingbirds and Loyalists who would kill stories you didn't like or Prudenize them, pump up stories you and the rest of the Imperial Family wanted to "introduce"?

Sure you would.

That's my explanation. Read so many ofthese Prudenized AP articles and my informal guess is that 20-50% of AP Editors are Bushevik Loyalists or Mockingbirds.

Often, AP articles read like they've been written by a guy who has a copy of "Newt Gingrich's Contrasting Words" on his desk.

WHY?

WHY WOULDN'T YOU (if you were a member of an Imperial Family setting out to subjugate a Republic)?

5. you're exactly right

I heard some reporter talking about how AP has become a republican tool, simply be serving as stenographers for WH PR releases

once they get out into the AP flow, pretty much unadulterated, think of how many other news outlets, both print and electronic, spread this BS all over the world, as if it's NEWS, and not garbage straight from the WH propaganda mill

wish I'd paid more attention at the time, cause said reporter made a very strong case

I think I heard it on Jim Warren's radio show

maybe I should email him about that and see if he recalls

course, he already knows the deal on that, and doesn't like to admit how far in the pocket his fellow inkstainer are

2. Yeah, I believe that....

seriously, that is a claim that no one can make. How do they get away with this prattle.

4. Yawhol! After 4 more years, my Final Solution will save us all. SIEG OIL!!

Once ve kill all the Muslims and have the "insane" Liberals locked away for their own protection, ve vill be able to proceed vith our glorius 1000 year 4th Reich. Corporations Uber Alles!!!

6. This guy really doesn't want another 4 years.

That's the only conclusion you can make when you read stuff like this. No person with a thinking brain would say these things, and expect people to believe them.

Not even a group of Neanderthals would buy this bullshit.
