Dan Calabrese, of North Star Writers, wrote a great piece on the state of The Associated Press. The AP has become a disgrace and a danger to America. They have become a blog for the moron in our White House and are directly to blame for ending what was once the media. He Writes:
On The Economy
If you read any AP story about the economy, you will inevitably read that the current U.S. recession started in December 2007 (one year too early). This is a lie. Why does the AP constantly make this false claim? In order to lay the blame for the recession at the feet of George W. Bush, of course.
On Terror
Of course, they did the same thing just last week with the big, super-secret CIA plot that turned out to be nothing more than a PowerPoint presentation about how to maybe kill Osama Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders.
The “story” was a big bunch of nothing, but because Dick Cheney was involved, the AP trotted out the scandal headlines. The bottom line is that the AP is nothing more than a propaganda service for its own political biases. It lies.
On Governor Palin
An AP headline screams: “AP NewsBreak: Palin implicated in ethics probe” Oh my God! That sounds serious! And if you’re the AP, it’s a long-awaited reason for hope after the previous 19 ethics complaints against Palin were all summarily dismissed as frivolous and completely without merit. The shocking lead tells us:
An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by trading on her position in seeking money for legal fees . . .Oh dear! What troubling words and phrases! An “independent investigator.” She “violated ethics laws.” She was “trading on her position.” She was “seeking money.”
Too bad it’s all complete nonsense. Too bad the actual “independent investigator” didn’t blame Palin at all for her situation, and instead blamed the State of Alaska for having such a ridiculous ethics process that a governor can face more than $500,000 in legal fees for bogus complaints, and isn’t supposed to raise money to help her pay the bills.
As we are all aware The AP is nothing more than a propaganda service for the left and Dan Calabrese does a great job pointing out how full of crap they really are. I would suggest e-mailing The AP morons when ever you get the chance. The author of the Palin-Ethics Probe story is RACHEL D'ORO rdoro@ap.org or roro@ap.org & the author of the CIA-Cheney Story is PAMELA HESS phess@ap.org. Most AP e-mails are 1st initial + last name @ap.org.

ReplyDeleteThe beginning of all this downward movement in the market started in late 2007. Looking at the chart October seems to be the highest point in 2007 and it's been headed down since then. What happened in late 2008 might be what you're thinking of but the economy had already lost something like 30% since October 2007 when the October came along in 08...so that isn't a lie at all. That is just the way it is.
Sir, the claim that the current recession began in December 2007 is a widely held view. See http://www.nber.org/cycles/dec2008.pdf for a detailed explanation about why this date is reasonable.

A recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth. This ONLY happen starting in the forth quarter of 08 & first quarter of 09.
ReplyDeleteI quarter of negative growth does not make a recession nor does your opinion.
