How do you get the Associated Press to use the word “terrorism” in an article without scare quotes? Simple. Just distort the meaning of the word so badly that it’s unrecognizable. Bam! No scare quotes! Vietnam to try American for terrorism. HANOI, Vietnam - A Vietnamese-American and two Vietnamese ...

The article is from Associated Press Democratic advocate Nedra Pickler, who shall henceforth be known as Nedra “Obvious” Pickler: Analysis: Wright does Obama little good. That’s the kind of high-quality, incisive analysis you can only get from the mainstream media.

The incredibly biased wire service reporting from the Palestinian territories is relentless, no matter how often they’re criticized and caught lying. Today Associated Press propagandist Ibrahim Barzak reports on a clash between Hamas terrorists and the IDF in which a terrorist’s daughter was killed, and gets seven paragraphs into his ...

President Bush is keeping up his game face, even though he must know it’s never going to happen: Bush says he’s confident about creation of Palestinian state. But the real howler of the day is the ludicrous second sentence of this Associated Press report: WASHINGTON - President Bush sought ...
Media Matters shill Eric Boehlert is at it again, with another bilious rant about “warbloggers:” Michelle Malkin and the warbloggers get everything wrong — again. I wouldn’t even bother with Boehlert’s nonsense, except that his description of our coverage of AP photographer Bilal Hussein’s release under an Iraqi amnesty law ...

Pope Benedict visited Ground Zero today to pray for the victims of the 9/11 atrocities, and the Associated Press uses it as an excuse to bring up their favorite subject: Benedict has been critical of harsh interrogation methods, telling a meeting of the Vatican’s office for social justice last ...

The “narrative” from this day on will be that Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein was set free because he was cleared of the charges against him. But it isn’t so: AP’s Terror Operative Freed but Not Cleared. As I wrote last week: Amnesty, of course, does not necessarily equal ...

The Associated Press story about the release of photographer Bilal Hussein, strangely, does not explain that Hussein was released because of a new Iraqi amnesty law—not because the charges were found to be without merit: AP photographer freed by US military after 2 years. This is how they summarize the ...

Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein has been freed, under a new amnesty deal with the Iraqi government. On Monday afternoon, American military officials announced that they would release Bilal Hussein, a photographer for the Associated Press who has been in custody for two years on allegations of aiding insurgents. ...

AP photographer Bilal Hussein has received amnesty from the Iraqi government, under a new law. I was unable to find any details about this “new law,” but apparently it covers Hussein. BAGHDAD (AP) - An Iraqi judicial committee has dismissed terrorism-related allegations against Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein and ...

Bob Owens got an interesting statement from the Associated (with terrorists) Press on their view of what constitutes “fair use” of their photographs: Confederate Yankee: A View of ‘Fair Use’. I’ll reproduce it here so it gets wider distribution: AP licenses its works (photos, news stories, video and so ...

The Associated Press is in full-court press defeatist mode tonight, with a ludicrous over-the-top article about the Photographic icons of Iraq war. Of course, they don’t mention any of the faked, staged, and/or set-up-by-terrorists photographs—many of which were staged by Associated Press terrorist stringers. And they don’t mention any ...
The CEO of the Associated Press is being honored tonight by the Radio and Television News Directors Foundation, for doing everything possible to subvert and undermine the War on Terror: 9/11 attacks harm First Amendment. WASHINGTON - The shadow of the Sept. 11 terror attacks is eclipsing press freedom ...
Another disgusting tale of barbarism from our Al Qaeda enemies; but the positive side of stories like these is that they show serious desperation on Al Qaeda’s part: U.S. Military Arrests Man in Training Iraq Women for Bombing Missions. BAGHDAD — The U.S. military announced the capture Saturday of ...
The Associated Press sent a scary lawyer letter to Brian of Snapped Shot because of his “frequent and systematic” use of their copyrighted photographs, and Brian has shut the site down... developing...

It’s hard to even know what to say about this garbage, as the media swallows whole some idiotic propaganda from George Soros-funded organizations, intentionally misrepresenting erroneous intelligence as deliberate falsehood: Study: False statements preceded war. Just disgusting. Associated Press “journalism” finds another new bottom. WASHINGTON - A study by ...
Today the Taliban attacked a hotel in Kabul, murdering at least two innocent people, and the Associated Press published a Taliban press release within minutes: 2 dead in attack on luxury Kabul hotel. KABUL, Afghanistan - Militants with suicide vests, grenades and AK-47 rifles attacked Kabul’s most popular luxury ...
It looks like the judge in Dan Rather’s lawsuit against CBS may let the case go to trial. But the fascinating thing about this Associated Press article on the case is how they describe the Rathergate scandal—without even mentioning that it was based on fake documents. Rather was removed ...

Today the US military will submit evidence in the Iraqi trial of AP photographer Bilal Hussein, and to mark the occasion Michelle Malkin has a look back at the disgraceful history of the Associated Press’ war coverage.
Photo District News has an article on Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein, and it mentions LGF: The Man From Fallujah. Blogs like that of columnist Michelle Malkin, The Jawa Report and Little Green Footballs have been following Hussein almost obsessively since his career began in 2004. I’ll just ...
The US military says Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Bilal Hussein was a terrorist media operative who infiltrated the Associated Press. The Associated Press is continuing to stick up for Hussein, but it’s not like the AP has any safeguards to prevent such a thing. It’s been clear for a long time ...

The Associated Press has figured out how to put an anti-war spin on the declining casualty rate in Iraq, as they celebrate yet another “grim milestone:” 2007 is deadliest year for US in Iraq. BAGHDAD - The U.S. military on Tuesday announced the deaths of five more soldiers, making ...
A Palestinian “university student” supposedly trapped in Gaza tried to slip past Israeli authorities and into Texas with a forged document—but was thwarted by the Associated Press. Kudos to the AP for this one. A Palestinian included by a human rights group as one of hundreds of university students ...
That article about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by Associated Press writer Nahal Toosi we pointed out yesterday, with the outrageous wording about “defending the right to cast doubt on the Holocaust,” has been quietly rewritten today: Ahmadinejad questions 9/11, Holocaust. Here’s the original lead paragraph: NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud ...
Associated Press writer Anne Flaherty, in an article about the Congressional vote to tighten sanctions on Iran, dispenses some casual “Jews control America” antisemitism: Congress Denounces Iran’s Ahmadinejad. WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress signaled its disapproval of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with a vote Tuesday to tighten sanctions against his ...
