More AP Bias

Dec 14, 2008 Posted Under: Personal, Sooners, bias, journalism, opinion, politics, sports

You may remember that I posted just last week about how irrelevant the AP is in reporting just about anything.  I took a screenshot of Yahoo’s News this morning where it posted an AP story about Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford winning the Heisman Trophy last night.  As you can see in the photo above it [...]
