The Associated Press has become a joke, a biased, ideological, corrupt joke. Check out this paragraph and see if you can find the bias (be careful, it will hit you smack in the face):

The McCain-Palin campaign had said the tax returns would be released Monday, but it suddenly put them out Friday afternoon — a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news because few people watch TV or read newspapers Friday evening and Saturday.

Now check out this paragraph from Joe Biden’s tax return release on Sept. 12:

Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife on Friday released a decade of their personal financial records, showing a veteran U.S. senator who earned less than many of his congressional colleagues.

There is nothing to explain the difference in these two paragraphs other than mendacious bias. The Associated Press is an international embarrassment.
