[...] AllahP notes that the AP will now refrain from naming sources for much of its “stringer” coverage in the future. I’m sure that will help sort out the real from the propaganda. Chalk this one up as a win for the bloggers, as the AP hasn’t produced the source, and won’t because it has been demonstrated that the ’source’ doesn’t really exist – at the very least not in the capacity or with the ‘credibility’ with which the AP presented the source.

Well, The Extra Pay Will Come In Handy At The Mall……

Someone told me, can’t say whom, that AP is ready to go bankrupt. The top executives have embezzled money for years, and they have had to make up stories because they can’t make payroll to pay for real reporters. One executive will be charged with extortion, another of child molestation. Developing…
This is from a high official that must remain un-named.

The more this crap from the Associated Press goes one; the more lies and made up stories they tell, the greater the anger I feel at these liars. NOTHING they say can be trusted! NOTHING!

[...] AllahPundit catches a very likely shift by the Associated Press. They will no longer quote unauthorized spokesmen – they will simply call them anonymous sources! Problem solved in the AP's eyes! We’ve got an AP article about an attack in Baghdad written by Qais al-Bashir quoting a police source. The stage is set for a cameo from our favorite Iraqi officer.

It’s What Isn’t There That’s Interesting…

Riehl World View

Newsbusters points out a new AP story by Qais al-Bashir which would appear to be a natural for attribution to Capt. Jamil Hussein as a source. They opt to withhold the name of the policeman. Allah makes that point here. But there’s s…

Are they going to start quoting an “Iraqi insurgent leader” named Keyser Sose now?

THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT!

What the hell can we do to hold their feet to the fire? I just don’t know what I can do other than a letter-writing campaign.

You KNOW they aren’t going to stop being dishonest!

This is just like a couple of 7-year-old kids making excuses about why those 37 candy wrapper mysteriously appeared under their beds!

You let them get away with it, it will get worse!

The root cause of lies are their success.

Next thing AP will be reporting how their reporter was kidnapped by Admiral Khang and taken to his secret base on the planet Venus where they escaped with the help of the Amazons and found his way to an ancient teleporter that took them to Atlantis where they followed a series of tunnels to Florida and that’s why they missed the interview with the Governor.

That’s true.

He is the bigfoot of journalism. AP is the weird one that actually met bigfoot.

Maybe, every reference to AP should have a mandatory blurb that they have been caught manufacturing the news

How about:
The Iraqi Surgeon General has determined that talking to the AP is dangerous for your health.

the officer said on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the media.

Ha Ha Ha. The AP can not stop, they are addicted. Need an anonymous 12 step program for reporters with anonymous sources.
