Pretty Fair AP Coverage

Taranto gives the folks at AP some pretty good and well deserved whacks today for Pliability Journalism.

But I have to say, this lead is clear and accurate:

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama wants automakers to make greener cars at a time when General Motors and Chrysler are hanging by the thread of a massive government loan and auto sales have plummeted to their lowest levels in more than two decades.

Obama's plans could bring smaller cars, more hybrids and advanced fuel-saving technologies to showrooms, but car shoppers will probably pay more upfront because the new rules are expected to cost the hamstrung industry billions of dollars.


Tell it like it is! I thought I was reading the Washington Times...

Dayum. These two reporters won't last long if they keep writing like that...

The new first commandment of journalism, after all, is "Thou shalt not question The One."
