Reply to comment by Moynamama in Associated Press reporter fired over erroneous story on Russian attack by Moynamama
Ok. So, how about we talk about how Many times the AP gets it right. How often they persevere to get the facts out, and not editorialize it. They fixed the problem, when they failed. It is still an organization ran by imperfect people. So, sometimes, they’re going to get it wrong. How many times have they gotten it right. It’s so fucked up, but so common, to completely dismiss all the good that is done, when a mistake has been made. AP is one of the few sources one can refer go to for news stories. They’re not going to get it right 100% of the time. Again, they fucked up, they’re fixing it. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. It sounds more like you’ve got an axe to grind here. WaPo is typically seen as an unbiased source as well. Let’s not take down one of the few neutral places we have left. :(

That’s what it sounds like too! Anytime I’m in one this is exactly what I think it is.
