Associated Press

Of course, we all know how right wing the AP is.

And that just goes to prove the point from my 'Good news is no news' clip. The AP goes out to every major news organization in the nation and only one (well, I am sure there are at least a few others) saw fit to carry the story.

The AP goes out to news organizations - not the general public. Fux News was the only one putting it into general circulation, just like the stories about Al-Qaeda starting the California fires. Other news organizations are waiting for corroboration on this story because they are more responsible.

I have to thank you for that post, I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time.
