AP Laments That Climate Change Debate Is 'Tribal,' 'Contentious'

August 16th, 2016 8:47 AM
The latest installment of the Associated Press's "Divided America" series on Monday focused on "climate change," aka "global warming." Not surprisingly, even though there are only 17 percent of Americans (allegedly "the fastest-growing group," which seems doubtful given that getting to that tiny minority level has required at least a quarter-century) who "are alarmed by climate change and want…

Over two weeks ago, the Bolivarian socialist government of Venezuela under de facto dictator Nicolas Maduro decreed that private-sector and government workers can be forced to work on farms if the military, which is now responsible for food production and distribution in that shortage-wracked country, deems it necessary.

AP: Al Gore Would Likely Have Won in 2000 If 'Undervotes' Counted

August 5th, 2016 5:19 PM
History is apparently subject to revision without notice and without basis at the Associated Press. In an outrageous report primarily dedicated to the notion that Donald Trump's concerns about the November general elections possibly being rigged thanks to potential voter fraud "challenges (the) U.S. Democratic system" — but a whole host of leftist-inspired rigging efforts apparently don't — …

AP's Opening Makes Awful Manufacturing Report Seem Positive

August 4th, 2016 11:42 PM
The press's reporting on the Obama era's awful economy has been nothing short of abysmal. Looking at the bigger picture on July 25, MRC Business's Julia Seymour named "6 key indicators of (a) weak economy" the press has glossed over or ignored since the recession ended seven years ago.

At AP, Fidel Castro at 90 Is 'Inspiration' For 'Communist Orthodoxy'

August 2nd, 2016 1:02 PM
Five years ago, the Associated Press was so excited about the imminent 85th birthday of Fidel Castro, Communist Cuba's dictator emeritus, that its Images Group promoted a package of "iconic images and videos" subscribing outlets could purchase and use. It described Castro as a "source of inspiration for many people throughout the world." Thus, it should surprise no one that the wire service,…

Hillary Donor Mark Zandi: Economy 'Resilient,' Job Market 'Incredible'

July 30th, 2016 6:52 PM
Yesterday's news about the economy was the latest in a 7-1/2 year series of mostly regular disappointments.

As All CMP Charges Dropped, AP Insists PP Never 'Sold' Fetal Parts

July 28th, 2016 2:14 PM
On Tuesday, Harris County's prosecutor in Texas dropped the remaining criminal charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress.
