Flopping Aces has a response from AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll, in the case of their nonexistent news sources filing imaginary stories. It’s really not much of a response; they’re standing by their reporting, to no one’s surprise. At no point does Carroll deal with the major issue—the only issue, really: that enemy sources are using Western news gathering networks, specifically the Associated Press and Reuters, to disseminate propaganda. They refuse to deal with this endemic rot, even though the corruption has been exposed over and over again.
