AP Reporting is Just Not What It Used to Be


Today I look at Yahoo news and this is what they had to say about the weather in the Northeast.

They report that a storm out that roared out of the Midwest turned into a blizzard for NY and NE.

Yet, buried within the story is how Springfield, IL got 16 inches of snow.

All I know is that the University of Illinois cancelled classes after 9 am yesterday and all today due to severe winds that lasted for 28 hours. The drifts are 4 or more feet near my front porch, as BW readers can see here.

If that isn't a nor'easter for Illinois, I guess AP thinks midwesterners all have lollipops on Valentine's Day too.

To me, the storm and the AP's report are metaphors for what happened to Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan, formerly of the Edwards campaign. Update: article written by Marcotte in Salon magazine, giving her side of the right wing misogyny that took place, and continues on.

Hearts all...l8tr..
