stance, and most what I just wrote about. If you want examples, refer me to anyone posted today, I will comment on it,your choice, no preconditions.

I will edit this space with my response.

This:

Romney insists he won't be a candidate in 2016 (AP)

So AP goes out of its way to post a story about the all but forgotten billionaire, but here he is popping up in this " primary news source" to wax sweet nothings about nothing.

It is a fluff piece that virtually begs Romney to speak up and he is repeatedly quoted gaining up Scott Brown's Senate campaign.....now to be picked up and edited by many other news outlets as a credible source.

I rest my case.

And well analyzed.

I see your point.

to change context.

They can add what they want, including misinformation, as long as etc. lot of elasticity in that.

compare to the published Fox story.

In jointly published stories with AP it is a bit harder because there is no link to the sourced story and another source would be Fox itself.

you'll get this : http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/fronts/HOME?SITE=AP

And for Reuters this : http://uk.reuters.com/ may differ if not UK as am I.

Stick with those and everything should be fine.

Often you can find a link to the story directly on the AP's website, for example:

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/gm-recalls-76-million-cars-ignition-switches

They are cheap and/or hurting financially, so they cut down on their own reporters. Few have anyone assigned overseas. Many use their own reporters only for local news.

I don't think many of us quote AP from the Fox website, though. If I find an AP story in, say, the website of a Nashville newspaper, I usually go to the AP website and post that link to the same (or similar) story.

from the right, it is more useful for right wing agendas. It does not belong as a credible Breaking News source at DU, is my proposition.

the reasons my post cited. AP, Reuters and UPI are the ones generating the most stories, and almost all the international stories. I don't think any of them is especially left leaning. In fact, these days, I don't even find the L.A. Times all that left leaning all the time.

But, if your goal is to eliminate use of AP as a source for LBN, why start a thread? Post in the Admin forum.

been here. Only one of those was in LBN--and then only because I'd just heard something I thought very important on MSNBC. (BTW, NBC, also a right leaning source, IMO). In my other almost 6000 posts, I am only citing a source to support my reply.

I am not the thread starting type. Not here anyway. Not yet, anyway.

Besides, I don't post every day and when I do, I am not usually on the board continuously that day. I would feel irresponsible if I weren't around to reply.
