Is it me, or is AP becoming FAUX news light

[NJmaverick]

the past few months it seems they are running nearly as many fictional anti Obama and anti Democrat stories as FAUX news.

1. They merged/were sold a while back and yes..they are not the same as they use to be

they've turned "right".:(

2. No, it's not becoming Faux light

It's been that way for years.

3. "Becoming"? Where have you been? n/t

8. I know they were never good, but lately they are running editorials under the guise of "factual news

[TechBear_Seattle]

9. They've been doing crap like that for at least five years

When the Bush administration came into power, every US "news" service took a hard turn to the right. Even NPR has become a neo-con echo chamber.

4. It’s not just you

A lot of RW websites post AP feeds on their front pages.

5. Its not you, its been that way since the middle of the campaign.

They made some editorial changes that favor non facts.

6. The head of the AP Washington bureau is Ron Fournier.

A renowned puke.

7. AP is toast. Just a fancy right-wing propaganda puppet at the moment

no cred, no honor, no real journalism.

They are pushing propaganda and spin.

And it is a great loss to America.

10. You missed the news about AP from a few years back. Completed

transition to partisanship. When you see AP - read only for the slant Republicans are giving on something or even consider what is being said as a plant to help a scheme that will not be beneficial to Democrats.

It is a grand theft when any news source is taken over. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NPR. C-Span has always tilted right. (Fox was designed from the start to slant and hug right.)

11. Becoming? I've written dozens of complaints to AP over the last 8 years for the bias in their

stories. One I recall was about a reporter in Crawford where she wrote about the 'patriotic' counter demonstrations against the anti-war ones.
