Comments on: AP media bias, cont’d https://www.yourish.com/2006/03/15/887 Cutting straight to the point Thu, 16 Mar 2006 18:26:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Meryl Yourish https://www.yourish.com/2006/03/15/887/comment-page-1#comment-3336 Thu, 16 Mar 2006 18:26:01 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=887#comment-3336 I just put a comment over on Jeff’s blog. I did some quick research on that article,and my bullshit detector is going off very loudly.

I can’t find the article anywhere but on that one source–extremely rare for AP analysis. I can’t find it in English, another clue that it’s falsely ascribed to the AP. A search of Google and Google news on the author’s name and important phrases turns up nothing.

I think it’s a hoax.

Protein Wisdom has the following piece from the AP originally appearing in Spanish:

WASHINGTON (AP) Republican Legislators did not rebel against George W. Bush when he justified the Iraq war with false intelligence information. Neither did they do so when they learned that the NSA was spying on American citizens without warrants.

But an apparently insignificant measure provoked a mutiny in the ranks: authorizing a Dubai company to manage the operations at six US ports.

No doubt there’s lots more where that came from. Objective media? Sorry, all out.

Perhaps he will apologize for Amona or have illegal Arab “settlements” torn down (at least until just after the elections – then he will put Yossi Beilin in charge of handling the Jews on the West Bank).

I’m not seeing much else in the press about this today, which surprises me. I’d have expected worldwide condemnation of Israel, in league with Palestinian demands… but apparently not this time. (Meryl Yourish has found some fun commentary by AP…
