Who runs Associated Press? and why do they insist on shoving their opinion about...?

Question

who the presidential candidates should be... down our throats? Why is it that the debate was covered so poorly? It almost sounds, from reading AP's universal press release that they were attending a different debate??!!

Hillary Clinton is NOT the front runner of anything... Giuliani showed himself to be an absolute idiot, McCain was a pushover, Huckabee was a big great Zero and the AP insists of bringing these bozos to the forefront... WHY?

Answer 2

The Associated Press is governed by an elected board of directors.

William Dean Singleton, Chairman and CEO, MediaNews Group, Denver, Colorado

Tom Curley, President & CEO

The rest of the board are top execs at the nation's largest newspapers.

The Associated Press is the largest news "cooperative" in the U.S.

Answer 3

The media doesn't decide who the front-runners are. They poll thousands of people, as do both political parties and numerous other organizations as well. ALL of these polls show Hillary Clinton as the candidate with the most support. All of them show Romney and Giuliani as the leading Republicans. Would you argue that the AP and others should keep the poll results to themselves? Wouldn't that be irresponsible journalism?

Answer 4

The Associated Press is governed by an elected board of directors.

William Dean Singleton, Chairman and CEO, MediaNews Group, Denver, Colorado
Tom Curley, President & CEO
R. Jack Fishman, Publisher and Editor, Citizen Tribune, Morristown, Tennessee
Dennis J. FitzSimons, Chairman President and CEO, Tribune Company, Chicago
Walter E. Hussman Jr., Publisher, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Little Rock, Arkansas
Julie Inskeep, Publisher, Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Indiana
Boisfeuillet (Bo) Jones, Publisher and CEO, The Washington Post, Washington, D.C

The mainstream media has been shoving their worthless opinions down our throat for years. But now at least we have Fox News and other independent voices

Answer 5

The Associated Press is owned by its members: 1500 daily newspapers, radio and television stations all over the world. It is a non-profit cooperative with an elected board of directors.

Each pay dearly for membership - almost $4,000 a week. But that cost is small in comparison to what it would cost to operate news bureaus in more than 100 places around the world.

Money talks, CNN and Fox News are each owned by those who push for their candidate of choice...making the viewers "believe" it is truth, when in fact it is anything but.

Answer 6

they've gotten a bit big for their britches ever since their competitor [United Press International] went out of business and newspapers ceased paying for editors to rewrite their articles.

Answer 7

The AP is dominated by liberals as are most news organizations in this country, except Fox News, of course. I wrote to an AP writer about using the politically correct term "undocumented worker" instead of the more accurate "illegal alien," and he said it was AP policy to use the term undocumented worker and that he wasn't going to challenge using that biased term!

Answer 8

Who runs the AP? Its got to be a liberal who has an
entire staff of liberals --- Journalists act like a bunch
of chiefs and no Indians. They all think they are the
ultimate authority in charge of spreading left wing
propaganda.

Answer 9

Yep.
The Associated Press is just another Liberal News Media Group.
American Haters.

Answer 10

Hillary is a front runner in the polls.

Answer 11

I know I'm bias, but it's my OPINION that they are Liberals. The headline that cracked me up last week was:
"Student Slain To Death!"
