AP Obit Paints Traitorous Ex-CIA Agent, Castro Apologist As Travel Age
Update (17:35): Paul Colford with AP e-mailed me with an updated obit posted at 14:40 EST that had more information. See more at bottom of the post. Philip Agee, a leftist who exposed fellow CIA operatives by name in a book he published in the 1970s has died in Cuba. Agee's perfidy was one reason Congress in 1982 passed the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. If that doesn't ring a bell, that…
Outrage of the Day from AP's Nedra Pickler: 'Aborted Fetuses Who Survi
I don't know how you top the example coming up for simultaneous outrage and doublespeak.It's from Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press, covering Hillary Clinton's claim that Barack Obama -- known to yours truly as BOOHOO (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama) -- is not a strong enough defender of abortion "rights."You can't say that Ms. Pickler didn't come come up with a staunch, but…
Perverted Ex-Judge's Party Affiliation Ignored by AP
Last year's most bizarre and famously icky sex scandal was, of course, Senator Larry Craig's airport bathroom incident, in which the Idaho Republican was alleged to have been soliciting homosexual sex from an undercover cop. Suffice it to say no one who came across the story could walk away without knowing Craig's party affiliation, and in some cases his record as a conservative with some…
Two Years after Sago, AP Reporter Claims Non-Existent 'Lag' in Safety
Two years ago, Old Media, particularly the New York Times, and quite a few chronic sufferers of Bush Derangement Syndrome (but I repeat myself), attempted to hijack the Sago Mine tragedy in West Virginia before the wakes for the 12 dead miners were even held. They wanted to pin the catastrophe, totally without foundation, on the idea that the administration had created the conditions for the…
AP Writer Falsely Casts Voter ID Laws As a 'Mainly' Partisan Issue
The Associated Press's Mark Sherman, as noted by Jim Taranto at Best of the Web, "reports on a pending Supreme Court case in a way that seems to give both sides their due, but in substance does not." Here are the first three paragraphs of Sherman's report (bolds are mine): The dispute over Indiana's voter ID law that is headed to the Supreme Court in January is as much a partisan political drama…
AP Buries Dem Label Plus Omits Claims of Corruption, Money Trouble
How thoughtful of the AP to give NewsBusters a Christmas contestant for “Name That Party.” Consider this post our thank you note for the timely gift! In this December 25 article, the AP buried the party affiliation of Democratic Philadelphia mayor John F. Street in the very last sentence of a ten-paragraph article about the mayor taking an extra $111,000 in pay raises that he rejected while in…
AP Begs Readers to Put More Democrats in Office Next Year
As 2007 comes to a close, one has to wonder just how much further the press are willing to go printing Democrat talking points in order to get the candidates of their choice elected next year. Throughout 2006, the biased media told the citizenry that all their problems would be solved if they kicked Republicans out of office, and elected enough Democrats to take over the Senate and the House.…
MSM Resurrects ‘GOP Defector’ Story to Peddle Commander McBragg Ve
The mainstream media is once again reporting the story of New York banker and ex-GOP voter Jeff Volk who claims to have been rescued by Hillary Clinton from the harrowing conditions of a New Orleans Hotel during Hurricane Katrina. Only now the details of that ordeal have evolved as have a few other elements of the story that the mainstream media seems to have glossed over in their rush to report…
Antiwar Tidings in AP’s Top News Stories of
It's Christmas, the surge is undeniably working, and December, 2007, could end up being the least violent month in Iraq since America invaded in March, 2003. Despite all that, the Associated Press, in an article published Thursday dealing with the top news stories of the year, couldn't restrain its antiwar proclivities, and, instead, chose to put a lump of coal under everybody's tree. Bah,…
