The ass-ociated mess ops press.

No problem. I usually look to see if it´s an AP story. If it is I just skip it as liberal blather.

You nailed it #2 - do not read "news" stories with AP or New York Times tag.

The Chicago Tribune is already full of reports of local gang shootings. There´s no room for AP stories.

Very good ,liberal ass.Press.

Good to see. Since I got rid of another worthless lib newspaper, the Denver Post, a long time ago, haven´t had the problem of skipping past the ars-press stories. While the Trib did the right thing, newspapers definitely disappearing slow but sure.

These rags are probably upset that AP actually ran a conservative columnist or a story favorable to anyone other than their lord and savior, barack hussein obama, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.

They can get all the leftist slant they need from in house or maybe sign up for Al Jazerra.

Unfortunately, most small town newspapers use the Associated Press as their main source of news reports. When I recently cancelled my local rag, the lady asked me why I was doing so. When I explained I was tired of so much leftist slanting of what´s going on in the world, she replied that she got quite as many complaints that the paper was too conservative. I was too polite to tell her I thought she was lying, but, on reflection, given the voting results of November 6, maybe she was being honest.

I now suggest they drop Reuters.

Newspapers are dropping the AP and people are dropping the newspapers.

I get my news from numerous sources via Internet sites and columnists.

I stopped watching network news in 1992 after they elected Bill Clinton.I dropped my local newspaper after the 2008 election for the same reasons stated above. They could not have cared less. They were recently sold off.

I think the news media may be committing suicide faster than the rest of the country.

Does columnist John Kass, the only column worth reading in the Trib, get the extra money the Trib charges with "Digital Plus" just to read his columns? I guess it is a "pay-to-play" Chicago solution to a problem. Newspapers and the AP with their regurgitations of liberal agenda crap for Obama worshipers have done themselves in by not reporting actual news and shining a light in the dark places of the political world? Who cares if Obama is playing golf? That is not news!

Hard to believe the Chicago Trib wouldn´t be willing to pay the extra $5 million for the AP´s virulently leftist output. But then, Reuters is nearly as hardcore Stalinist in its viewpoint, so I suppose the Trib sees it as no great loss.

The papers finally noticed that they could get the same "news" feed from the White House agit-prop operatives for free.

The Ass Press isn´t liberal enough for these rags, I guess they will be getting their news from the occupy press.

Hell, who needs AP/Obama-- now its just Obama.

All Obama all the time!

THe Libs can´t repeal basic laws of economics. It´s a death spiral and I´m not mourning it. AP loses revenue and the papers continue to fail. My only concern is obtaining paper for the bottom of my birds´ cages.

The bitter clingers are letting go of orgs like AP but it´s too late. Not only is AP heading for the dust bin but so is the Trib and all the others.

I put my last copy of the Dallas Morning Lies Distortions and Half-Truths in the dust bin in 1993. Many have followed suit. Today, the only people buying that rag are people who want to have something to put in their recycle bin.

The pendulum swings.

This Babylon among the MSM may be the actual plan:

1. MSM reduced to irrelevence [by their own perfidy];

2. A vacuum occurs in national, credible news information;

3. The ZeroNews Foundation steps up to become the defacto information source, and eventually, the only one.

The First Ammendment is thus gently dispatched.

The Trib just might be gone the way of Newsweak and Time by the end of 2014.

Not that I´ll miss them. Just think of it as saving trees. Liberals like to save trees.

#2 and #3, I completely agree.

The MSM is fading fast and for many of us, its already irrelevant.

Whenever "Chicago" is in a headline, byline, or storyline I expect corruption, lies, and the leftest agenda to be showcased.

They´re still printing newspapers?

What they didn`t tell us is they will begin reporting stories from the New Fascist Times......../s

I think people would happily buy newspapers again (even if folks would rather use electronic media) if they would start actually reporting news without bias and would be honest in what they objectively report. But that is just a dream...

If they saved some money by not buying anymore ink, they´d have a better newspaper.

The hypocrite ass-press deserves a quick death for all the lies they produce, the daily drumbeat of j-school low-information liars! If only they´d all "DROP" them!

You have to acknowledge the problem the Ass. Press finds itself with. The left side of the "Journalism" ship, AKA Titanic is crowded far beyond capacity causing the ship to circle left continuously, hitting one iceberg after another. With everyone singing the same song and peddling the same distortions and lies it is difficult to stand out from the herd.

When Ass. Press disappears no one will even miss them. One less voice in the choir.

Just think of tbe money they´d save if they would just stop the presses...LOL

That´s fine.

Sensible people learned long ago that nothing reported by the Associated Press can be trusted.

Of course, the same could be said of Reuters, or NBC "News", or ABC, CBS, CNN, PMSNBC, NPR, PBS, the New York Slimes, the WhiteWash Post, etc., etc., etc.
