What Bothers the Associated Press?

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Monday, November 17. 2008 12:32
We've established earlier today that my mortal enemies are not bothered in the least by serving as the official PR agency of Hamas. Not that this is very surprising, considering the agency's general history of anti-Western tendency.

No, what really bugs the AP is when the United States Army issues press releases. Especially when one of the photos that accompany said release has been digitally altered for P.R. purposes:

What, the AP doesn't like the American Flag?


There you have it. All P.R. work is not equal to the Associated Press.

I'm confident that their revenue will continue to reflect that fact. Who would've thought that Americans hate to buy news that is anti-American, anyway?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Thanks for the HT.

The AP makes it sound as though there was something nefarious about the photo manipulation. But the military certainly didn't try to conceal the fact the photo was altered - it is obvious the background was changed to add a patriotic theme.

The AP are hypocrites.
