just find it hysterical that they call the AP wire a credible source. More often than not AP stories are riddled with errors.

Well, I prefer News in a newspaper then News from a blog. It\’s more polite I think.

\”Journalism, at its core, is curiosity\” is a stupid way to describe what what should drive a journalist. As a reader, or media follower, Im not interested in what makes a reporter curious – thats too subjective – I just want an objective account of what happened.

Mark,

A perfect example happened today! And it was all captured on film and CNN still didn\'t get it right in the report. A young lady was questioning Senator Thompson when HPD grabbed her and took her outside against her will, with no cause.

CNN stated she was \"protester\" who then misquoted Thompson (even though he was on camera when he said it). He said he was unaware what the Council on Foreign Relations, the North American Union and the Trans-Texas Corridor stood for, even though he has been a long time member and after some babbling stated, I just want to know all sides. What he really said was if it gets me votes I am for it but CNN picked through the lies for their quote and grossly misrepresented what he said. I bet you 10k cash money right now no pun intended that quote comes back during the election as a point of Flip Flop reference! Why else was CNN there they knew someone would ask the question and wanted to trap him.

The idiot at CNN reporting stated she was screaming and yelling at him so they were forced to remove her to behind the security fence at the facility. FACT is they just randomly grabbed her with no warning or cause (other than tough questions) and forced her to leave. After repeatedly requesting to be let go and leave on her own they forced her out, where she questioned his conservatism.

The best part is CNN and her camera man got it all on film. CNN posted it as a news story where her, myself and 1000s of people called them out on the lie, but comments never were reflected on CNN Political Tracker Blog. She has one of the hottest posts on Wordpress right now showing the actual footage of the incident, but CNN has yet to correct itself.

All to make headlines. Steve Brusk of CNN you are f*** idiot!

Wait a second, did they say:\"They use credible sources like the AP wire?\" Huh? Is that the same AP wire that thought that Pacman\'s traffic tickets were newsworthy, but did not send out a wire on Stephon Marbury\'s FOUR MILLION DOLLAR pledge a couple of weeks ago?

The AP wire and ESPN should be ashamed of themselves for their coverage priorities! But if you want the whole truth forget the AP it is right here:

Assuming you cut and pasted the quotes from DMN, I think they need to get someone on staff to proofread their stories. \”Media don\’t present\” and \”transactions is a wire feature\”? I\’d stop listening to the DMN for poor grammar.

I expect spelling and grammatical errors in a blog (although normally there\’s a spell check built in), but not from journalists trying to make a point. Apparently, they didn\’t have very effective English classes as part of that reporter\’s journalism degree!

That\’s a pretty negative comment for morning news. I prefer friendly news in the morning it feels better on the hangover.
