    ...you've lost the Associated Press, you know you're in trouble.

    SPIN METER: Obama disconnects rhetoric, reality

    WASHINGTON (AP) — In President Barack Obama's sales pitch for his jobs bill, there are two versions of reality: The one in his speeches and the one actually unfolding in Washington.

    When Obama accuses Republicans of standing in the way of his nearly $450 billion plan, he ignores the fact that his own party has struggled to unite behind the proposal.

    When the president says Republicans haven't explained what they oppose in the plan, he skips over the fact that Republicans who control the House actually have done that in detail.

    And when he calls on Congress to "pass this bill now," he slides past the point that Democrats control the Senate and were never prepared to move immediately, given other priorities. Senators are expected to vote Tuesday on opening debate on the bill, a month after the president unveiled it with a call for its immediate passage.

    They act more like Obama's stenographer. They certainly aren't much
    of a news organization.

    Most of journalism is stenography. So is all of ideology. I've heard all sides gripe about the so called bias of the AP.



    (Historically speaking I narrowly agree with xray, but it more matters which way the wind is blowing. The so called bias is overstated by both sides whenever they try to counter "bad news.")
