AP editorializes for GOP in Budget Bill story.

The Headline on Yahoo:
"Obama will sign spending bill despite earmarks"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090302/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_spending

They tell us that at least $3.8 billion from the $410 billion bill is earmarks. That's right the whole story is that less than 1% of this bill is earmarks and that's a terrible thing.
I saw the same story from the AP last week before the Bill passed.
This is really shameless.

5. Faux News this AM - "Obama breaks campaign promise w/earmarks"

AP is getting to be as bad as Faux.

6. Obviously

they both get their talking points from the same place.
