The newspaper business is sick. Nowhere is this more evident than in the liberal Associated Press "news" coverage of Republican Sarah Palin. But no whimper of complaint by any of the hundreds of AP-served newspapers across the country.
The only complaint news editors have had is not about morals, but the price of the false stories, when five newspaper editors recently threatened to drop AP. Their biggest worry was how they were going to put out a paper, and make millions, without AP, a sign that AP is a monopoly, which spells "trouble."
AP is running scared, and is attacking Mrs. Palin, just as the liberal media did with Hillary Clinton and Nicole Brown Simpson when she, too, was pitted against a black. For instance, a Sept. 5 AP story began by saying Mrs. Palin "seems to have switched colleges at least six times in six years." What's that got to do with being a vice-president? Nothing, AP just wants you to know they are going to be all over her and nobody is going to stop them.
AP is also seeking her grades, but refuses to go back to the college days of fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton, who wrote her college thesis praising communist Saul Alinsky, and who served as a legal intern in the office of the attorney for the Communist Party USA. The same liberal AP has refused to question fellow Democrat Barack Obama about his college-age ties with communists Bill Ayers and Frank Marshall Davis. Protecting a comrade?
Is AP throwing elections and using daily newspapers to force the United States into one-world socialism, since America is the last obstacle to that goal?
This is criminal. This is journalism. Sick.
I say drop AP.
