The AP Makes My Head Hurt, Again

Another analysis gem from the Associated Press. We'll just highlight one of the more idiotic portions. It's where the AP's Jennifer Loven struggles mightily to keep afloat her divisive, the-Clinton's-stole-the-convention theme. How did she know it was true? Well, because Hillary had the key speaking role Tuesday night. As for Biden's performance in the same time slot last night, here's Loven:

"As the evening's final speaker, Biden held the so-called prime-time slot. Yet, in Eastern and Central time zones, Biden wound up on TV after many folk's bedtimes and it was Bill Clinton people saw, being cheered so roundly that he had to plead "Please stop... Please sit" to be heard."

For those keeping track, in the Central time zones Biden began speaking at approximately 9:20 Wednesday night. But according to the AP, that was "after many folks' bedtime."

We just can't make this stuff up.

I agree with you, I am sick of the MSM lying down on the job. it is so much easier to blather on about a gossipy issue than to dig into the real issues and the real concerns of this country.

everyone is a psycholigist and they know all about Bill and Hillary and Barack and Michelle and you know that NOT ONE WORD is true.... and they are just trying to kill time instead of actually doing any research. they just want to talk over the speakers at the convention, like they are the reprentatives of the people instead of the representatives of the corporacracy...

it is so unbelievable that they went after clintons like wolves but god forbid they should go after that slut Jeff Gannon and find out who paid him and for what...

And had the speech been earlier, I'm sure it would have conflicted with everyone's dinner time. Nobody these days watches TV during dinner, just like how everyone is turning in at 9PM.
