yeah no kidding. And besides, any real news comes from the AP which every news organization reports off of anyway.

And you've never thought that you saw or heard something only to be wrong? Your eyes and mind can play tricks on you as well. Everyone has an imagination and you should question what you and everyone else perceives as truth.

I do normally trust myself more than anyone else, but I also realize that I'm not without any faults either. Plus, I not a god <yet>. I can't be everywhere at once. Sometimes you have to hear someone else's story and decide if it's truthful or not.

While the AP is not officially state run, it effectively is. There are more pro big government articles than any other news organization. The AP refuses to run any unbiased articles on the people in this country who are protesting. When they do, they claim a handful of people showed up at the Columbus protest on August 1. There were around TEN THOUSAND people there. Hardly "a handful." Just ask Judge Andrew Napolitano, he spoke there. Or that the people who are attending the town hall meetings are "angry mobs."

The AP is so infatuated with Obama that they have ceased to be a news organization and are now just a parrot copying his talking points.

The AP article I've seen say "thousands"...

It's making me sick the way the "news" is reporting on people protesting about government run health care. I forget what the topic was of the speech, but I recall people who were against it marching into a speech, holding a banner in front of the podium, and not allowing the guy who was there to speak. It was lauded as activism and the guy speaking was criticized for tearing their banner. Because he was a Republican.

When people go criticize the BS that's going on now they're reported as "mobs" and "bought off by insurance companies". Pelosi lies completely by saying they're wearing swastikas.

There's a huge rally happening in DC September 12th. I intend to go. Let's see how that's reported by the media. If they cover it at all.

There is no news anymore. It's propaganda pure and simple. I'm even losing faith in Fox.

Hahaha Fox News!?! A reliable source? It seems to me that Fox tends to run more biased, sensationalist stories than any other news organization I can find, aside from the ones who openly embrace one political stance or another. I feel low every time I read one of thier questionable articles.

Fox News - that explains so much about you FIT.

Can you give me some more information on what peer-reviewed source this study of bias in the AP coverage was published in, or is it simply someone's online blog post?

Seriously. They all offer the same AP rehash on almost every site. Only when you go to local news do you find any different content and that isn't all the time.

If Murdoch intends to start charging for all his online news properties, he really has his hands full. I do visit Fox's website (and CNN's as well), along with many other news sources, and I have to say - the quality of the writing of some of the articles on both Fox's and CNN's is atrocious. I don't think a day goes by where I read an article and go "What?," several times in the article and have to re-read just to begin to make sense of it all.

If they actually hired writers who could make coherent sense, or rely on half-blown, half-polished AP articles it would go a long way towards making it a more pleasant reading experience.

If this fool *really* wants us to pay for it, then he darned well better up the bar considerably. As is, online content on some of these major news websites have a long way to go. Sure, there are some people who could give two hoots about a nice, flowing sentence and one that actually feels good to read - but many times, actually most of the time, you will find far better written pieces in print media; that is, unless you go to more obscure news-source areas of the internet.

Good luck with this, Rupert. If you simply think you can add a "pay now" button to your websites and people will gladly start shoveling money into your pants, continue taking your medication and living in your own private mental paradise.

As usual. You have written very well. I didn't ask myself "what?" once while readying your post; and I agree, the news organizations you mentioned are dupes of each other only differing in the political party they favor.

In a related story, the hooker was none too pleased either.
