AP: Giant Hypocrites or TEH GIANTEST HYPOCRITES EVAR?

That seems to be the choice we’re facing. At the bottom of a very brief, kind of stupid story about a crime:

Information from: Fort Collins Coloradoan

What information? The whole entire story? The pertinent facts, rewritten hastily to shove out onto the wires? Some of the facts? All of them? The AP, that guardian of our democratic press, that bastion against journalistic malfeasance, does not say.

The Coloradoan is an AP member paper and thus pays the AP to carry itsRon Fournier bullshit content and the AP gets to pick up whatever it wants from the paper’s journalists. I hope the AP paid the Coloradoan for the use of its content. If not, I think the Coloradoan should sue.

Especially since their own story was so much richer and well-written and also had a completely different set of numbers than the version the AP put out.

It is, after all, only a matter of time before the parasite kills the host.
