The AP Hearts Sarah

Gotta Ask Yourself WHY of the Day: AP assigns 11 reporters to fact check Sarah Palin's book

I am continually astounded how the MSM portrays itself as a convincing resource for the truth when they twist information daily to suit their left-leaning agenda. It used to tick me off, yet now serves as a sad-for-them amusement in their inability, or more likely, their refusal, to get Conservative America. Instead of digging for hard facts, for the truth, and then actually reporting without bias, they have morphed into a leftist ball-breaking machine. My how the mighty have fallen.

When the former Republican vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor wrote her autobiography, the AP found a copy before its release date and assigned 11 people to fact check all 432 pages.

11. 11 hungry jackals. Each hoping it would be them (oh please, oh please, oh please, let it be me) to find the one "fact" that would bring Sarah down. Talk about a career changer!

Impressive.

Man, if they commit such intensive resources for a person who isn't even in public office any more, I bet they really beat the crap out of current sitting politicians.

Biden's book "Promises to Keep" became an instant best-seller when he was chosen to be Obama's running mate, but was not fact-checked by the AP and only received passing interest. In a story last year on Biden's Vietnam War draft deferments due to asthma, the reporter notes Biden didn't mention the malady in his book.

Huh, not so much.

Show of hands, who's surprised?

As the MSM continues down the path of irrelevancy, the rest of us have taken to sources we trust based on reporting that isn't discredited five minutes after it's published. We gravitate to sites and reporters who value integrity and are willing to build trust by offering the truth, even if that truth hurts. We have left the MSM behind in its stubbornness to promote an agenda that We The People are not interested in accepting.

Instead of a funeral dirge before their last gasping breath and sadness over the slow death of the MSM of our youth, let's raise our glasses and salute the integrity of their past, of what they used to represent. Let's honor them with their own words, their own wacky sense of delusional humor, as we say goodbye and good riddance.

Reviewing books and holding public figures accountable is at the core of good journalism...

STOP LAUGHING!

Oh, and FYI, the AP was offered the chance to defend their reprehensible actions, yet declined.

The AP, an organization with over 4,000 employees and 49 Pulitzer Prizes earned for asking the hard questions, wouldn't comment on their own reporting for this story.

Gotta ask yourself: Why?
