AP's move is a little self-serving as smaller news orgs are likely to use AP's services (as well as Reuters').

HOWEVER, I think this is a good thing as AP and Reuters' normally provide news based on facts written by real people.

A few companies are buying up TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations and presenting opinion as news. Sinclair's TV news is one example.

TIL rabies and drunkenness have similar signs.

Maybe some of the people I've met really were sick on the head and not just drunk.

It does not prevent people from voting.

It may, however, amplify distortions of the truth or bold-face lies.

With regards to AIPAC it amplifies the voice of a group that is ONLY concerned with the advancement of Israeli interests.

Forums are alive and well when looking for car info. Whenever I get a different car I look for communities with the most activity and that is usually a forum.

The one exception I can think of (proving the post to be true) is the first generation Tundra (2000-2007). The FB group had more current news than the forums and I managed to get banned (first time ever).

There is nowhere nice for birds to land the cat can easily reach, by design. I know cats are bad for birds but he is 12 years old and lazy.

I try to help the environment as much as possible but I'm not perfect.

I didn't cut the grass this spring and it got over two feet tall in most places. This guy went out there everyday like it was his job. Grass was cut this week but he is still out here doing his thing.

A symbolic boycott is important. They still picked a side in this mess.

OMG, I read the comments.

I'm a guy who showers daily and tries to make sure I don't smell (breath and body). Today, however, I am off from work and only washed my face. I've had that not so fresh feeling all day.

I'm going to take shower right now.

edit - shower complete. also, i was trying to quote ghostbusters in the beginning but messed up it. it should have been "I looked at the comments, Ray".

Reality TV is cheaper to produce than scripted shows. Profit is the reason all they show is reality shows.

If the IEEE (electrical engineering society) is saying something it must be really bad. They rarely if ever get involved in things like this.
