The AP Unleashes Attack Dog On Romney

Have you seen the video? Here's a Boston Globe account of the tussle.  The AP has a tag team of partisan reporters and analysts ripping up Romney under their byline -- an attack program that makes up in vitriol for what it lacks in substance.  When you see the name Glen Johnson or Ron Fournier on an AP story coving the Presidential campaign, shake yourself out the the delusion that your reading the work of a sober professional pursuing truthful news.  What you're reading is the often slightly unhinged rantings of a partisan political operative who's chosen writing for the AP as his preferred platform for committing left - Democrat political activism.  What was once a disturbing trend in journalism is now the self-evident status quo, so old hat it's as expected as seagulls at the beach.  The only folks not up on the new reality of the news business are the poor old folks who still pay for a daily paper -- the rest of us have long ago ended our subscriptions.  When the newspapers finally die, many of us will identify it for what it was, an act of self-immolation by partisans more actively interested in advocacy than the news business.
